Correct Answer: country population
Solution : The right choice is the second option .
Explanation: In the phrase "country population" the error is the lack of a possessive form. It should be "country's population" to indicate that the population belongs to the country. The possessive form is made by adding an apostrophe with the letter "s" (country's), showing that the population is of the country.
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: Uttar Pradesh accounts for about 16 percent of the country's population.
