The vertical axis is labeled millions and ranges from 0 to 900 in increments of 100. The horizontal axis is labeled year and lists dates from 1700 to 2000 in 100-year increments. The line for population starts at 90 million for 1700 and with a slow growth rate reaches to 120 million by 1900. The line then rises with a high growth rate and reaches beyond 600 million by 2000. The line for steel consumption starts from 0 in 1860 and reaches 20 million by 1900. The line then rises with a high growth rate to reach beyond 800 million by 2000. The values used in the description are approximate.

Steel consumption was around 100 million and the population was beginning to grow.

Steel consumption was around 100 billion and the population was beginning to grow.
Steel consumption was around 100 billion and the population was beginning to grow.

The population was around 100 million and steel consumption began.

The population was around 100 million and steel consumption had not yet started as it is mentioned that steel consumption starts from 0 in 1860.

The correct response is:

Steel consumption was around 100 million and the population was beginning to grow.

which one

To conclude about steel consumption and population size in 1850, we need to examine the information provided in the given description.

According to the description, the line for population starts at 90 million for 1700 and with a slow growth rate reaches 120 million by 1900. However, the information about population size in 1850 is not explicitly given.

On the other hand, the line for steel consumption starts from 0 in 1860 and reaches 20 million by 1900. Since the information about steel consumption in 1850 is also not provided, we cannot directly conclude anything specific about steel consumption in that year.

Therefore, based on the information given, we cannot determine the exact population size or steel consumption in 1850.
