Explanation:

The data given on the graph shows that:

Asia will grow from around 1,300 million to 5,000 million in 2050 which is an increase of:

= 5,000 /1,300 = 3.84 times

Europe will decrease over that period.

Africa will go from around 300 million to 2,000 million which is an increase of:

= 2,000 / 300

= 6.67 times

Mexico

, Central America, Caribbean Islands:

= 900 / 120

= 7.5 times

United States,  Canada, and Greenland:

= 400/120

= 3.33

Oceania:

= 50 / 13

= 3.85

From the options give, Africa will see the greatest increase at 6.67 times its population in 1950.
