Which statement correctly explains population size?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Total number of people in an area

Population size is the complete count of people living in a defined area. The area may be a settlement, district, state, country, or any other clearly marked region. This idea answers “how many people are there?” It should be distinguished from population density, which asks how many people live per unit of area, and population distribution, which asks how people are spread across space. These concepts describe different aspects of population.

Option A is correct because it gives the exact meaning of population size: the total number of people in an area. Option B counts only one age group and is therefore incomplete. Option C measures land, not people, while option D measures rainfall. The word “total” is decisive, because population size includes all residents rather than only children or another selected group.
