Answer 1

To find the size of the group after the changes, we can start with the initial number of members and adjust based on the changes:

• Initial group size: 10 members
• 4 females emigrate: 10 - 4 = 6 members
• 2 females immigrate: 6 + 2 = 8 members
• 2 gorillas are born: 8 + 2 = 10 members
• 1 male dies: 10 - 1 = 9 members

After applying all the changes, the final size of the group is 9.

So, the correct answer is 9.
