    (A) the estimated population

    Explanation:

    The best way to deal with this is to avoid the plural pronoun ' their, ' which has no place in this sense as we're talking about the rhino (a singular) group.

    Therefore options B and E are removed.

    In terms of ' amount ' we do not quantify a population. Therefore, option C is also removed.

    In D the estimation of population is odd.

    The correct version is the projected population. A is the right choice.
