Answer 2

Answer: an increase in population

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph shows an arrow that is rising steadily as the years goes by. This is meant to symbolize that the population of Georgia has been increasing from 1960 to 2010.

Going by the graph, the population of Georgia in 1950 was 3.5 million people. In 2010, that number had gone past 9 million people thereby proving that population in Georgia has indeed increased.
