A Correct answer
Explanation

The second part of the sentence (consequently………. flawed) is simply a paraphrase of the first part of the sentence. 'Demographic' in (1) deals with the distribution, density, vital statistics etc. of human populations and hence, replaces the first blank. Moreover, its pair word 'intrinsically' gives cogent meaning to the sentence. Hence, (1) is the answer.
