Answer:

c. 1965-1970

Step-by-step explanation:

  • It took over "2 million years" for the human population to reach 1 billion, but once it went past the 1 billion mark, it only took another 200 years for it to reach "7 billion".
  • In the late 1960s, the "human population growth rate" had reached its peak where the population growth rate had gone above 2.5% a year in the developing countries.
  • The population growth rate of the entire world had reached a little above 2% a year back then.
