in one year, 35 giraffes are born to a population. what does this number represent?\ngrowth…

Brief Explanations:

Growth rate is a percentage - change measure. Emigration is leaving a population, immigration is entering. Birth rate is per - capita. The number 35 is just the count of births, which represents the number of new individuals born into the population in a year.

Answer:

None of the above options are correct as 35 is just the number of births, not a rate or emigration/immigration. If we must choose the closest mis - labeled option, it is most related to birth rate conceptually but is not the birth rate itself (birth rate would be per capita). If we assume the options are not perfectly defined, the closest would be birth rate. So the answer is birth rate.
