The correct response is: "It does not take into account the effects of migration on population growth."
To arrive at the correct answer, you needed to analyze the given options and evaluate each one based on the criticism of the demographic transition model. The demographic transition model is a theory that explains the population change patterns that occur as societies go through different stages of development. It suggests that as societies develop, they transition from high birth and death rates to low birth and death rates.
Option 1 does not criticize the demographic transition model; it asserts that post-industrial societies tend to have high rates of natural increase, which contradicts the prediction. Option 2 has similar wording as option 1, but it is a repetition rather than another critique. Option 3, however, raises a valid criticism by pointing out that the demographic transition model does not consider the impact of migration on population growth. This suggests that the model may be limited in its ability to accurately predict population changes, as it does not account for the effects of people moving from one location to another.
Therefore, option 3 is the correct answer.
