Answer:

The Rule of 70 is a calculation that determines how many years it takes for an investment to double in value based on a constant rate of return. This rule can also be used to estimate how long it would take for a population to double. To use the rule of 70, simply divide 70 by the annual rate of growth.

In this case, if the population growth rate remains constant at 1.07%, then it would take approximately 70/1.07 = 65.42 years for the population to double. Since you mentioned that the population growth rate was 1.07% in 2018, adding 65 years to 2018 gives us an approximate year of 2083 when the population will double.

So, the answer to your question is A) 2083.
