Which of the following conclusions can be drawn from the map?

A. Population growth depends upon economic growth.
B. France has the fastest growing population in Europe.
C. Muslim nations are overcrowded, causing immigration to Europe.
D. Population growth rates in Eastern Europe are generally lower than Western Europe.

Respuesta :

The correct answer is D

The map can be used to draw the following conclusions: Option D is true. Eastern Europe's population growth rates are generally lower than Western Europe's, as indicated in the map.

We can readily assume that eastern Europe's population is lower than Western Europe's.

The options are inaccurate because:

  • Option A is erroneous because population growth is dependent on economic growth. No, it is not dependent on economic growth, but yes, population increase is dependent on economic growth, according to me.

  • Option B is erroneous because, according to the map provided, France has the fastest expanding population in Europe.

  • Option C is inaccurate since Muslim countries are overcrowded, which leads to migration to Europe. This is not a conclusion that can be drawn from looking at the map.

Thus Option D is correct as western growth rates are lower than eastern growth rates.
