As per the table, the total population is 600 million. If the labour force participation rate is 70%, the labour force will be 70% of the total population. 
Labour force = 70% of 600 million
Labour force = 0.7 * 600 million
Labour force = 420 million
Therefore, the labour force is equal to 420 million, which is closest to option C (105 million).
