Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. 2016.

From the given table, we can see that the highest difference between the two years is from 2015 to 2016

In 2015 the population = 83.8

In 2016 the population = 100.6

Difference = 100.6 - 83.8 = 16.8

Thus, 2016 has the highest increase compared to the previous year.
