To tackle this question, start by recalling the phases of the demographic transition and the hallmark patterns of each phase.
Option A: 'Low birth and death rates' — This pattern is classic of Phase 4, not Phase 3. In Phase 4 both birth and death rates are low, leading to a stabilized population size. Therefore, A describes a later stage rather than Phase 3 and is not correct for Phase 3.
Option B: 'Falling death rates but birth rates do not change much' — This describes Phase 2, where death rates drop while birth rates remain high, causing rapid population growth. Since Phase 3 involves a shift in birth behavior rather than further declines in mortality, B does not match Phase 3.
Option C: 'High birth rates and high death rates' — This pattern characterizes Phase 1, the pre-transition stage with both rates high and relatively stable. It does not reflect the changes occurring in Phase 3, so C is incorrect.
Option D: 'Declining birth and death rates' — This option aligns with the transitional dynamics described for Phase 3, where birth rates begin to fall from high levels while death rates are already low and begin to stabilize or decline more slowly. The net effect is a slowing of population growth, and the wording captures the concurrent decrease in fertility alongside low mortality typical of Phase 3 in many models. Therefore, D is the most accurate description for Phase 3 among the given choices.
