To find the size of the gorilla group after the changes, let's break it down step by step.

  1. Starting group size: 10 members
  2. Females emigrate: -4 members (10 - 4 = 6)
  3. Females immigrate: +2 members (6 + 2 = 8)
  4. Gorillas are born: +2 members (8 + 2 = 10)
  5. Male dies: -1 member (10 - 1 = 9)

After calculating all these changes, the final size of the group is 9 members.

So, the correct answer is 9.
