Which of the following statements regarding the future of populations in developing, less industrialized countries are correct? i) the reproductive rates are predicted to remain below replacement level. ii) survivorship will increase. iii) overall population size will increase dramatically. iv) the fertility rate is predicted to remain high, especially in some regions.

the wrong statement is - c. a desert had more biodiversity than a marsh.

the deserts are one of the places of the planet where there's the least biodiversity. the reasons for that are the climate and the lack of food sources, which hampers both the number of the species that can survive in it, and the number of the individuals in the species itself.

the marshes, on the other hand, are places where there's perfect conditions for lots of organisms to thrive. the temperature is moderate and nice, the amount of water and the food sources are on a high level, so there's an abundance of both plant and animal life in them.
