Default A Sentence Completion Question

Dear Teacher,

I would appreciate if you could please help me on the following question:

According to figures, world population is increasing _____ in _____ highly industrialized countries.

A) the slowest / as
B) slower / most
C) the most slowly / the more
D) slowly / such as
E) the slower / the most


It looks there's something weird in the formation but I would choose C anyway since "the most slowly" seems to be acceptable for the first blank due to an adverb requirement and again "the more" could be too because of the same reason.
