d. are outpacing the growth of most other household types and more than doubled between 1970 and 2000.

Explanation:

Single-person households are not a new phenomenon, as there have always been people who have lived on their own throughout history. However, what is new is the rate at which this type of households are growing. As less and less people marry or have children nowadays, single-person households are becoming more common. This can be seen by the fact that the number of this type of households more than doubled between 1970 and 2000.
