Which of the following populations would have a growth rate of zero?
A) b= 100, d=50. i=0, e=100
B) b= 100, d=50. i=50, e=100
C) b= 100, d=50. i=75, e=100
D) b= 100, d=50. i=100, e=100
E) b= 100, d=50. i=150, e=100

The growth rate is zero when the birth rate (b) is equal to the death rate (d). In this case, b = 100 and d = 50, so the growth rate is 100 - 50 = 50. However, the question asks for a growth rate of zero, so the correct answer is B, where b = 100, d = 50, and i = 50.
