b) 0

Explanation:

Given that:

Emigration = 3, Immigration = 17, Birth = 12, and Mortality = 26

Net effect on the population, which is the change in population, can be calculated using the formula (Births + Immigration) - (Mortality + Emigration)

Therefore, Net effect = (12 + 17) - (26 + 3)

= 29 - 29

= 0

The net effect on the population is 0. There is no increase or decrease in the total population
