A. Population growth depends upon economic growth.

Answer:

D.

Explanation:

Choices for this question are

A. Population growth depends upon economic growth.

B. France has the fastest growing population in Europe.

C. Muslim nations are overcrowded, causing immigration to Europe.

D. Population growth rates in Eastern Europe are generally lower than Western Europe.

You can observe that the map doesn't show a relation between population growth and economic growth, so we can't determined if one depends on the other. Choice A cannot be the answer.

Additionally, France has a population growth between 0.5 and 1 percent, which is not the fastest or the greatest rate, because Turkey and Irleand are the only countries with a population growth rate greater than 1 percent. So, the choice B is not the answer either.

Similarly, the map doesn't relates immigration rates with population, we are not able to determined if the Muslim nations are overcrowded, causin immigration to Europe.

Having said that, the only choice left is D, which is true, because the given information shows that Eastern Europe generally has lower population growth rate than Western Europe.

Therefore, the answer is D.
