According to the Demographic Transition Model, the first stage (High Stationary) is characterized by both high birth rates and high death rates. The high death rates are typically a result of poor health conditions, lack of sanitation, famine, disease, and limited or absence of medical aid. Statement I (Death rates are high) is correct. Statement II (Low birth rate) is incorrect, as birth rates are high in this stage. Statement III (Absence of medical aid) is correct as it contributes to the high death rates characteristic of this stage.
