Answer
Iraq, with $ 2.7\%$
Work Step by Step
Exponential growth and decay models are given by $A=A_{0}e^{kt}$
in which $t$ represents time,
$A_{0}$ is the amount present at $t=0$, and
$A$ is the amount present at time $t$.
If $k>0$, the model describes growth and $k$ is the growth rate.
If $k<0$, the model describes decay and $k$ is the decay rate.
-------------------------
India, Iraq and Japan have growing populations
(the exponents are positive, so $k>0$)
Iraq, with k=0.027 $\qquad (2.7\%)$
has the greatest growth rate
