Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
A change in demographic transition occurs when the economic development of a country changes the population growth pattern. This is because economic development usually leads to improvements in healthcare, education, and social welfare, which in turn affect fertility rates, mortality rates, and migration patterns, leading to changes in population growth dynamics. The other options (A, B, and D) do not accurately describe when a change takes place in demographic transition.
