Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The fertility rate needed to replace a woman and her partner (typically 2.1 children per woman) and to account for childhood mortality is called the replacement level fertility rate. This would result in zero population growth over the long term. Therefore, the correct option is D) zero population growth. Options A, B, and C are not correct as they do not accurately reflect the concept of replacement level fertility rate.
