Question

brazil gdp
the arrow shows the point at which military rule ended.
what was the effect of the end of military rule?

economic production began to climb
economic production began to decline
gdp remained below $500 billion for ten years
gdp rose to $1 trillion within ten years

Explanation:

1. Analyze the first option: The graph shows the GDP was already climbing before the end of military rule (arrow at 1985), so "economic production began to climb" is not specific to after military rule.
2. Analyze the second option: The GDP trend after 1985 is upward, not declining, so this is incorrect.
3. Analyze the third option: After 1985, the GDP goes above 500 billion, so it did not remain below for ten years, this is wrong.
4. Analyze the fourth option: Around 1985 (end of military rule), and by 2005 - 2010, the GDP reaches over 1000 billion (1 trillion), so within ten years (by 1995 or 2005), it rose to $1 trillion. This matches the trend.

Answer:

D. GDP rose to $1 trillion within ten years
