Based on the information in the graph, what is the best conclusion to draw about africa?

a. the fertility rate in africa is very low.
b. africa has reached its carrying capacity.
c. the birthrate is higher than the death rate.
d. there are few resources in africa.

The answer is C. The birth rate is higher than the death rate.

We can see in the graph that in Africa the birth rate is very high, it is expected that by the year 2050 in Africa there will be 2 billion people, which is more than 1000% of the people living in Africa today. This means that more people are born than those who die.

The appropriate answer is C. The birth rate is higher than the death rate. The graph shows that the population has been increasing since the 1950s. In order to have an increase in the population, the birth rate must be higher than the death rate.
The graph does not represent in any way the carrying capacity or the available resources of the continent. An increasing population over time would indicate that the fertility rate would be relatively high and not low. 

 

Where are the options?

The answer is one amu.
