Question

The best choice is "The population has grown each"
The verb "grow" does not agree with the subject "population." The past tense form "verb" implies that population growth has stopped. Using the present perfect tense - "has grown" - indicates that an event has happened in the past and is not complete. The population grew in the past and continues to grow.
