(A) with such rapidity that the population is one-half- use of present tense "is"-incorrect.2. use of with such rapidity to describe the verb "is declining" incorrect. It should be an adverb.
(B) with such rapidity that the population was one-half- 1.Same aprep error as A. 2."The population was one half.." wrong usage.
(C) so rapidly the population divided in half- wrong meaning
(D) so rapidly that the population was halved- correct
(E) in such rapidity that the population is halved- same prepostion error as A. 2. Use of present tense is incorrect as the action took place in the past.
