conversion rates to islam (in thousands)
according to the chart
options:

• 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 everything 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 (converts on y - axis, dates on x - axis), so this is wrong.
• Second option: From 900 - 1000, the line is increasing, not declining, so this is wrong.
• Third option: The line shows a general upward trend with a later plateau, not wildly different directions, so this is wrong.
• Fourth option: Initially, the growth of converts (Islam's growth) was slow, then it grew for a long time, and finally leveled off, which matches the chart's trend.

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.
