Which two countries lost the smallest percentage of their populations?

A. the UK and Russia
B. Italy and the US
C. the US and the UK
D. Italy and France



Answer :

To determine which two countries lost the smallest percentage of their populations, let's examine the percentage loss figures for each country. The given data is:

- Russia: 1.1%
- France: 1.5%
- UK: 0.24%
- Italy: 1.6%
- Serbia: 5.7%
- US: 0.1%

We need to identify the two smallest percentages from these values. The smallest percentage is:

- US: 0.1%

Followed by:

- UK: 0.24%

Thus, the two countries that lost the smallest percentage of their populations are the US and the UK.

The correct answer is:
the US and the UK
