Answer 1

The correct option is C Nearly 20 million

Australia is not only small in terms of size but it also has small population. Its total population was 20 million in 2012, which accounts for only 0.31% of the world's population. In 1860 the population was 1.15 million, and it rose to 18.7 million in 1998.
