Correct Option (d) Reason : A population has birth rates and death rates. The rates are expressed as change in numbers (increase or decrease) with respect to members of the population.
In this case, the net increases in population will be zero. Because Birth rate (B) + Immigration (I) – Death rate (D) + Emmigration (I) = Density of population.
Therefore, Density = [250 + 20] - [240 + 30] = 0
