D Correct answer
Explanation

Population after 2 years = 16000 * (1 + 5/100)^2 = 16000 * (1.05)^2 = 16000 * 1.1025 = 17640.

AI explanation

Using the formula for successive percentage increase, the population after two years is calculated as 16000 multiplied by 1.05 squared. Calculating 1.05 squared gives 1.1025. Multiplying 16000 by 1.1025 gives a final population of 17640.
