Solution

The correct option is B The rate of growth of population is low.
The country has a birth rate of 34%, and a death rate of 50%. This means that the death rate of the population in the country is higher than the birth rate. When this happens, we can see that there will be a drop in the growth of population in the country, as the birth rate is lower than the death rate. We would be unable to know about the number of well-educated people in the country with the given information.
