Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Crude birth rate (CBR) is the number of live births per 1,000 population in a given period of time.

CBR = (Number of live births ÷ Total population) x 1,000

In this case,

CBR = (4,000,000 ÷ 400,000,000) x 1,000
CBR = 10

Therefore, the crude birth rate of this country is 10. Hence, the correct answer is C.
