conversion rates to islam (in thousands)
according to the chart
there were no numbers/data collected related to conversions to islam
there was a sharp decline in the number of members from 900 - 1000.
there were similar conversion patterns at first but then data/numbers moved in wildly different directions.
for a while islam did not grow fast. the increase in the number of converts grew for a long time, then the increase in the number of converts leveled off/plateaued.

Explanation:

• Analyze each option:
• First option: The chart has data (the line graph), so this is wrong.
• Second option: From 900 - 1000, the line is increasing, not declining, so wrong.
• Third option: The graph shows a consistent upward trend (with a steeper increase later), not wildly different directions, so wrong.
• Fourth option: The initial part of the graph has a slow growth (Islam did not grow fast), then a long period of growth, and finally it levels off (the line becomes more horizontal at the end), which matches the description.

Answer:

D. For a while Islam did not grow fast. The increase in the number of converts grew for a long time, then the increase in the number of converts leveled off/plateaued.
