Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
According to the Canadian census, over 80% of Canada's population is concentrated within 160 kilometers of the Canada-United States border, making this statement accurate. A is incorrect because it is not specified whether they have the slowest rural population growth in comparison to other Canadian provinces or territories. B is unrelated to Canada's population, and C is incorrect as the Aboriginal population in Canada has actually had a higher natural increase rate than the non-Aboriginal population in recent years.
