Ans: A
Demography is the statistical study of human populations with reference to size and density, distribution, and vital statistics.

Demographic studies provide descriptions and comparisons of populations according to the characteristics of age; race; sex; socioeconomic status; geographic distribution; and birth, death, marriage, and divorce patterns. These studies often have health implications that may or may not be addressed by the investigators.
