    B. 3% population growth and 5% real GDP growth

    Explanation:

    2012 GDP per person = 42,000,000 : 10,000 = 4,200

    Current population (at 3% growth rate) = 10,000 + (10,000 * 3%) = $10,300

    Current real GDP (at 5% growth rate) = 42,000,000 + (42,000,000 * 5%) = 44,100,000.00

    Current GDP per person = 44,100,000.00 : 10,300 = $4,281.55

    Growth rate of GDP per person = ($4,281.55 - 4,200) / 4,200 = 0.0194, or 1.94%.
