The population of a town over the years 2000-2007 is shown in the given figure. It can be inferred that during 2000-2007,
The question requires us to analyze the rate of population growth from 2000 to 2007. Let's examine the data in the provided graph.

From the graph, the population values are:
We first calculate the annual increases in population:
Next, we observe the increments in these annual increases:
The increments of 800 per year indicate that the rate of increase in the rate of increase of the population is consistent and linear.
Therefore, the correct answer is: the rate of increase of the rate of increase of the population increased linearly.
