C) The subscripts of states range from 1 to 49.
D) The subscripts of populations range from 0 To 49.

In many programming languages, including Visual Basic, array indices start at 0 by default. Therefore, an array declared with a size of 49 (as in `states(49)` or `populations(49)`) will have indices ranging from 0 to 49, making option D correct. Options A and B are incorrect because it is perfectly valid to declare multiple arrays in a single Dim statement, and they do not need to have the same data type. Option C is incorrect because, as mentioned, the default starting index is 0, not 1, making the range 0 to 49, not 1 to 49.
