Answer 1

To determine the final number of gorillas in the group, we can break down the changes step by step.

1. Starting Group Size: 10 members
2. 4 Females Emigrate: 10 - 4 = 6
3. 2 Females Immigrate: 6 + 2 = 8
4. 2 Gorillas are Born: 8 + 2 = 10
5. 1 Male Dies: 10 - 1 = 9

Therefore, the final size of the group after all the changes is 9.

So, the correct answer is 9.
