恭喜你精準地選出了正確答案！在公職考試的英文題型中，掌握慣用句型與上下文的語意邏輯是奪標的關鍵，你顯然已經具備了良好的語感。
統計數據的引述慣用法
這題的核心在於辨識虛主詞 It 所引導的被動語態句型。當文章需要引述一項統計、研究或大眾普遍認可的估算數字時，標準的表達方式是 「It is estimated that...」（據估計...）。選項 (C) estimated 完美契合了後文提到「全球超過八億人（more than 800 million people）」這類非絕對精確、帶有推估性質的統計數據。相較之下，(A) conducted（執行）通常用於描述實驗或調查的過程；(B) included（包括）在此結構下語意生硬；(D) secluded（與世隔絕的）則完全不符文意。
