Answer 1

To determine the size of the group after the mentioned events, we can calculate it step by step:

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

Therefore, the size of the group after all these events is 9.

The correct response is 9.
