A net population decline resulting from an "excess of deaths over births".
Option: A
<u>Explanation</u>:
Demographic transition is a shift from higher to lower level of fertility and mortality.Rapid development in industrialization and urbanization in 
century resulted into enormous population growth. But decline in early 
century covered many reasons like consequences of two calamitous wars, where Europe suffered large population declination due to battle death and civilian causalities in World War I and II. Hence the acceleration of population growth in 19th century but downfall in 20th is also considered as balance.
Strike-slip zones lie within the tectonic plates, separate the two plates as continental or oceanic, and created large shear zones.
<h3>What are tectonic plates?</h3>
Tectonic plates are found in the crust of the Earth mainly in the lithospheric region.
When the vertical zones shifted the two blocks to the horizontal direction in parallel by hitting the fault zone, then the created zone is called a Strike-slip zone. It is usually formed between the oceanic and continental plates under the surface of Earth by forming large shear openings.
Therefore, the explanation provided in options A, C, and E relates to the formation of Strike-slip zones.
