To find the correct answer, we can look at the information provided and compare it with current statistics. According to the question, the indigenous population in Brazil was around 3.5 million before the arrival of Europeans. We need to find the option that represents the current indigenous population.
To do this, we can eliminate options that are clearly higher or lower than the original population. Option A, 2 million, and Option D, 1.5 million, are lower than the original population and can be eliminated.
Now we are left with options B and C. To determine which of these options is correct, we need to look at current data on the indigenous population in Brazil. As of 2021, the estimated indigenous population in Brazil is around 850,000 according to the National Indian Foundation (FUNAI).
Option B, 500,000, is closer to the current estimate than Option C, 200,000. Therefore, the correct answer is B. 500,000.
