Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Individuals are added to a population by births and immigration (individuals entering the population from outside) and removed from a population by deaths and emigration (individuals leaving the population to go elsewhere). Option A correctly identifies these mechanisms for population change. The other options are incorrect, as they either only include one type of population change (e.g. immigration only or deaths only) or include incorrect types of population change (e.g. births and emigration or births and immigration only).
