The option that describes demographic transition is:

a period in which a society moves from high birth and death rates to low birth and death rates.

This concept refers to the transformation of a society's population structure in response to economic development and changes in social norms, typically characterized by a shift from a pre-industrial society with high fertility and mortality rates to an industrial or post-industrial society with lower fertility and mortality rates.
