Answer: The current predicted doubling time is 61years which makes 50years in your option the nearest possible answer.

Explanation:The world's current (overall as well as natural) growth rate is about 1.14%, representing a doubling time of 61 years.

We can expect the world's population of 6.5 billion to become 13 billion by 2067 if current growth continues.
