A.
1.4 × 106

B.
1.4 × 107

C.
1.4 × 108

D.
1.4 × 109

Answer 1

To find the approximate population of China, we need to multiply the population of Vatican City by 1.75 × 106:

Population of China = Population of Vatican City × 1.75 × 106

Population of China = 800 × 1.75 × 106

Population of China = 1.4 × 109

Therefore, the approximate population of China is 1.4 × 109, which is option D.
