Answer:

Option D is the correct option,8.75 years

Explanation:

Using the rule of 70 which implies that an amount will double when 70 is divided by the required rate:

Number of years an investment doubles=70/annual return rate

For instance,an individual has $40 million at hand and needs to purchase a property that is worth $80 million in the future,the individual can then determine how many years it would be take for the $40 million to double given a specific rate of return on investment.

Specifically,in this case the GDP of $48 million would double in 8.75 years' time (70/8)
