The correct option is C Middle East
The population growth or population change refers to the change in number of inhabitants of a territory
during a specific period of time. This change may be positive as well as negative. It can be expressed
either in terms of absolute numbers or in terms of percentage.
Population change in an area is an important indicator of economic development, social upliftment and
historical and cultural background of the region.
The population of the Middle-East region is
increasing at 2 percent per year, the second highest rate in the
world after sub-Saharan Africa.
