D Correct answer
Explanation

Neither assumption can be inferred. The first statement is nowhere related to the relation between economic prosperity (cause) and population limitation (effect). The second statement has gone way out of the scope. Limitation is not due to paucity of time at disposal. Hence, this (neither is implicit) is the correct answer choice.
