a stage 1
b stage 2
c stage 3
d stage 4

Explanation:

In the demographic transition model, Stage 1 is characterized by high birth rates and high death rates. This stage typically occurs in pre - industrial societies where there is a lack of modern healthcare, family planning, and economic development. High birth rates are common as there is a need for labor (in agricultural or other traditional economies) and a lack of contraception. High death rates are due to factors such as poor sanitation, limited access to medical care, and high infant mortality.

Answer:

A. Stage 1
