The world population changed relatively little between the years 1200 and 1400. Which of the following statements about this tim
e period is likely true?A. The birthrate and death rate were about equal. B. The death rate far exceeded the birthrate C. The birthrate was much higher than the death rate. D. This question cannot be answered using the given information.
Given that the World population changed little between this time, we can gather than the birth and death rates were similar, since they seem to cancel each other out from 1200-1400. To clarify, think of this. If you add something to a total (think births to population), but take away the same number (think deaths from population) you end up with the same total as before. Because of this, A is the correct answer choice (The birth rate and death rate were about equal).
