Answer:

The answer is letter E.

Explanation:

The highest rates of natural increase are concentrated on the African continent.

Because the population will increase if death rate is less than birth rate. The calculation is birth rate - death rate. The rate of natural increase is given as a percentage, calculated by dividing the natural increase by 10.  In South Africa, for example, the birth rate is 25/1000 and death rate is 15/1000, so South Africa has an increasing population  with a grownth rate of 1 %.
