Explanation:

To solve this matching quiz, we analyze each term and its definition:

• NIR (Natural Increase Rate): Defined as the difference between live births and deaths in a year (matches B).
• Infant Mortality Rate (IMR): Measures infant deaths per 1,000 live births (matches I).
• Crude Birth Rate (CBR): Live births per 1,000 people in a year (matches H).
• Crude Death Rate (CDR): Total deaths per 1,000 people (matches A).
• Total Fertility Rate (TFR): Children per woman over child - bearing years (matches C).
• Replacement Rate: Children needed to replace a couple (matches D).
• Doubling Time: Time for a population to double (matches G).
• Carrying Capacity: Maximum supportable population/organisms (matches K).
• Arithmetic Density: Total people divided by total land area (matches E).
• Physiological Density: Total people divided by arable land area (matches J).
• Agricultural Density: Farmers divided by arable land area (matches F).
