Answer

Brief Explanations:

  1. Observe the graph trends: Asia's population rises then declines, while Africa's population steadily increases.
  2. By 2100, Asia's population is ~4,300 million and Africa's is ~3,800 million, with Africa's still growing and Asia's falling.
  3. Extrapolating this trend, Africa's population will surpass Asia's shortly after 2100, around 2120.
  4. Eliminate other options: growth/decline rates are not equal, and Asia will not remain larger by 2120.

Answer:

C. More people will be living in Africa than in Asia sometime around 2120
