Answer 1

The option that best describes the demographic changes in Kazakhstan under the Soviet Union is:

• The Kazakh population declined during this period, but remained a majority.

During the Soviet era, there were significant migrations of non-Kazakhs into Kazakhstan, particularly Russians and other ethnic groups, which affected the demographic composition. However, despite these changes, Kazakhs continued to be the majority ethnic group in the republic.
