The answer is A.

For C, irrelevant.  It's the total yields of rice that counts and the stimulus already says that the total yields of rice would not increase appreciably. If it is already stated, it is not an assumption.

For D, it just strengthens the original claim that the total population will increase.  Since we already know this trend, it is not an assumption.
