Physiological density is defined as 

• the average farm production compared to arable land.
• the number of farmers as compared to the total population.
• the number of people compared to arable land.
• the number of farms compared to the total land area.

What is the difference between crude birth rate and total fertility rate?

• The crude birth rate measures the number of live births per 1,000 people in a population in a given year, while the total fertility rate measures the number of children born to men in a population.

• The crude birth rate measures the number of live births per 1,000 people in a population in a given month, while the total fertility rate measures the average number of children a woman would have in her lifetime.

• The crude birth rate measures the number of live births per 1,000 people in a population in a given year, while the total fertility rate measures the number of children born to women of childbearing age.

• The crude birth rate measures the number of live births per 1,000 people in a population in a given year, while the total fertility rate measures the average number of children a woman would have in her lifetime.
