Demographic Transition Model
Based on the information, I believe that Costa Rica is closest to stage 4. The evidence that supports this belief is that the birth rate was 16 per 1000 people which is pretty low. The death rate is at 4 to 1000 people, which makes it low too. And also, the population growth seems to be stable.
