Answer
(d) Natality.
NATALITY is the birth rate — the number of LIVE births per thousand people per year.
The three terms are easy to separate once you look at their units: NATALITY — births per 1,000 people per year MORTALITY — deaths per 1,000 people per year POPULATION GROWTH RATE — natality minus mortality (adjusted for migration); it is a DIFFERENCE, not a count POPULATION DENSITY — people per square kilometre; the only one measured per AREA rather than per year
The word LIVE in the question is deliberate: still-births are not counted in natality.
Natality.
