Question

country b, a developing country, has a high birthrate and low life expectancy. which of the following would most likely also be a characteristic of country b? low fertility rate low death rate high death rate long doubling time

Explanation:

Developing countries with high birth rates and low life expectancy typically have high death rates due to factors like poor healthcare, limited resources, and higher infant/child mortality. A low fertility rate contradicts high birth rates. A low death rate is inconsistent with low life expectancy. Long doubling time is more associated with slow population growth, while high birth rates (with high death rates) can lead to moderate or fast growth but not long doubling time. So high death rate is the most likely characteristic.

Answer:

C. high death rate
