The more developed countries (MDCs):较发达国家 （MDC）：

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question discusses the more developed countries (MDCs) and their share of international stayover arrivals. 
Option a: 'account for over 90% of all international stayover arrivals.' This is not accurate for most periods after 1960, as the global distribution of tourism grew more evenly across regions, reducing MDC dominance relative to earlier decades. 
Option b: 'have experienced a faster rate of international tourism growth than the LDCs.' In reality, many developing countries (LDCs) began to grow more rapidly in tourism in later decades, while MDCs often saw slower growth or maturity in large-volume tourism, so this statement is misleading. 
Option c: 'have experienced a 100-fold increase in international stayover arrivals since 1950.' While there was growth, a 100-fold increase across all MDCs since 1950 is an exaggeration and not supported by typical data patterns for stayover arrivals. 
Option d: 'account for less than one-half of all international stayover arrivals.' This is closer to some later snapshots but generally inaccurate if referring to long-standing trends where MDCs still comprised a substantial share; thus this claim is not correct as a blanket statement. 
Option e: 'have seen their share of international stayover arrivals decline since 1960.' This aligns with the common understanding that MDCs’ relative share declined over time as tourism expanded more rapidly in many developing regions, even if their absolute numbers rose. This is the correct interpretation of the trend described in the question.
