While poverty rates are not directly mentioned in the question, comparing Tokyo and Rio de Janeiro shows that Option A provides more specific and accurate information about the economic situation in the two cities.
Option C states that the population of Rio de Janeiro is decreasing, while Tokyo is growing in population. There is no information provided in the question that directly addresses the population trends of the two cities, so this statement cannot be considered an accurate comparison.
