Based on the information the number of people that will there after 20 years is: d.)  2.97 million.

Using this formula

P(t) = Population ×(1+ rate)^t

Where:

Population=2 million

rate=2%

time=20 years

Let plug in the formula

P(t) = 2×(1+.02)^20

P(t) = 2×(1.02)^20

P(t) = 2×1.485947

P(t) = 2.97 million

Inconclusion the number of people that will there after 20 years is: d.)  2.97 million.
