Solution
Answer
The answer is A. poor
Explanation
Option 1: Poor
Most of the population growth in recent decades has been concentrated in poorer countries. This is due to higher birth rates and younger populations in these regions, which contribute to a faster rate of population increase.
Option 2: Rich
Rich countries generally have lower birth rates and aging populations, leading to slower population growth or even population decline in some cases.
Option 3: Old
This option is not relevant to the context of population growth, as "old" does not describe a type of country.
Option 4: New
"New" countries is not a recognized category in demographic studies, and thus this option is not applicable.
