    A. Meran's potential output will be 100% higher than that of Hauck's.

    Explanation:

    Using the rule of 70

    For Meran' we find that in approximately 36 years (2000 - 2036), their output quadruple at 4% increases. That is,

    Time taken to double = 70/4 = 17.5 years

    17.5 * 2 = 35 years (time taken to quadruple).

    While for Hauck, at 2% increase will take them 35 years to double using the rule of 70. That is,

    70/2 = 35 years (time taken to double).

    Thus, by 2036, Meran output will be 100% greater than that of Hauck.
