What is the study of population characteristics called?

  1. Sociology

  2. Demography

  3. Anthropology

  4. Ethnography

The correct answer is: Demography

Demography is the study of population characteristics, such as size, structure, and distribution. Sociology focuses on the study of human societies and behavior, while anthropology focuses on the study of human cultures and societies. Ethnography is a research method used in anthropology that involves studying and describing a particular culture or community. Although all of these fields may touch on population characteristics in some way, demography specifically focuses on this topic. Therefore, option B is the most accurate answer.
