    D. Southland's real GDP per person will eventually be greater than Northland's.

    Explanation:

    If we compare the expansion of the GDP per person of both countries in the long run - 100 years from now-, eventually, southland's real GDP will be greater.

    Northland: 30.000 * (1 + 1%) ^ 100 = $81.144

    Southland: 10.000 * (1 + 3%) ^ 100 = $192.186

    Despite Southland is 3 times greater than Northland GDP per person, the consistent and greater rate of growth let us conclude that Southland's real GDP per person will eventually be greater than Northland's.
