Option D. 17%

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$f(x)=250,000(1.17)^{x}$

This is a exponential function of the form

$f(x)=a(b)^{x}$

where

a is the initial value

b is the base

In this problem

a=250,000 people

b=1.17

Remember that

b=1+r

1+r=1.17

r=1.17-1=0.17

Convert to percentage

0.17*100=17%
