A) Kerala
B) Tamil Nadu
C) West Bengal
D) Madhya Pradesh

Answer 1

Hint:A population is all the organisms of the same group that live, when, in a particular geographical area, and are capable of interbreeding.

Complete answer:
Kerala is a state situated in southwestern India. Kerala has about 2.76% of India’s overall population. The population growth rate of Kerala is far lower than the national average. Kerala’s population is most densely situated in coastal areas. The major religions which are present in Kerala include Hinduism, which is followed by Muslims, and Christianity.
A population can be generally defined as a set of individuals of a particular species which are found in a particular area. The population at any time is composed of individuals of different ages and the age distribution is plotted in an age pyramid, and the pyramid has 2 main stages as a growing stage, stable stage, and decline stage. Population growth or the size of the population change with time according to food availability, predation pressure, weather conditions, etc. The major factors that affect human population growth include healthcare or access to health care or the ability to fight or prevent diseases. Another factor that affects the population is the availability of birth control or availability of family planning education or by the use of birth control aids. Political and economic stability also affects the population growth rate. As the population grows human needs resources like water, land, trees, and energy requirements also increase. The population is an important element to achieve sustainability.
From the above findings, we can conclude that in the 1991 census Kerala has the lowest growth rate that is about 13.98%.

 Hence the correct answer is option (A) Kerala.

Note:The decline in growth rate was contributed to partly by the turndown in fertility, and partly by the decline in net out-migration. Kerala has been a state with net out-migration from the 1930s and the rate of net out-migration reached its peak between 1981 -1991.
