    The correct answer is: 6.99 billion (as 6.986 billion is rounded off (to nearest hundredth place) to 6.99 billion)

    Explanation:

    The given function is: y = 6.2 (1.01) ^x - - - (1)

    Where x = number of years after 2000

    It means that in 2012, the value of x would be 12 as the difference between 2012 and 2000 is 12 years.

    Put x = 12 in equation (1):

    (1) = > y = 6.2 (1.01) ^12 = 6.986 billion = 6.99 billion
