Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Survivorship describes the probability of individuals in a cohort surviving from one life-cycle stage to the next. It is usually represented by a survivorship curve. The intrinsic growth rate of a population (B) refers to the rate at which a population increases under ideal conditions, while a population pyramid (C) is a graphical representation of a population's age and sex structure. A cohort (D) refers to a group of individuals of the same age that are studied over a period of time.
