The correct answer is Demography.

  • Demography is the statistical study of human populations.
    • Demography examines the size, structure, and movements of populations over space and time.
    • It uses methods from history, economics, anthropology, sociology, and other fields.

Additional Information

  • Geomorphology is the study of landforms, their processes, form, and sediments at the surface of the Earth (and sometimes on other planets).
    • The study includes looking at landscapes to work out how the earth's surface processes, such as air, water, and ice, can mold the landscape.
  • Anthropology is the study of people, past and present, with a focus on understanding the human condition both culturally and biologically.
    • This joint emphasis sets anthropology apart from other humanities and natural sciences.
  • Sociology is the study of societies and how humans act in groups
