Which option gives the wrong meaning of population size?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Number of people per square kilometre

Population size means the total number of people living in a particular place, such as a village, city, state or country. It is an absolute number and does not by itself tell us how widely those people are spread over the area. A census attempts to count the total population at a particular time. Population size may be compared between places, but the area of each place must also be considered when studying crowding or concentration.

Option C gives the wrong meaning because the number of people living in one square kilometre is called population density, not population size. Density relates population to area and is usually expressed as persons per square kilometre. Options A and B correctly describe the total number of people. Option D is also correct because a census provides the counted total population of a place. The key distinction is total number for size and number per unit area for density.
