Absolute natality is ________ .

  • Correct answer
    A
    number of births under ideal conditions.
  • B
    total number of births in a particular time.
  • C
    number of births when environmental pressures come into play.
  • D
    age related natality.

Solution

Absolute natality, also known as maximum or physiological natality, is the theoretical maximum production of new individuals under ideal environmental conditions. Under these conditions, there are no ecological limiting factors, and reproduction is limited only by physiological factors.

Realized or ecological natality refers to the actual number of births occurring under existing environmental pressures.

Answer: number of births under ideal conditions.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
