The replacement rate refers to the level of fertility needed for a population to replace itself without migration. It is typically around 2.1 children per woman. This is the level at which population remains stable, as each generation is replaced by an equal number of offspring. Option A is partially correct as sustainable population refers to a population that is able to maintain or increase its population size over time. However, it does not necessarily refer to a population that remains at a stable level. Option C is vague as stable could refer to a variety of levels, not necessarily the level at which population remains constant. Option D is not relevant to the concept of population growth or stability.
