To determine which two countries lost the smallest percentage of their populations during World War I, let's carefully analyze the data given in the chart.

The chart provides information on the country, the number of deaths, and the percentage of the population that these deaths represent. Here are the percentages of the population lost for each country:

- Russia: 1.1%
- France: 1.5%
- UK: 0.24%
- Italy: 1.6%
- Serbia: 5.7%
- US: 0.1%

We need to identify the two countries with the smallest percentages.

First, let's list the percentages in ascending order to find the smallest ones:

- US: 0.1%
- UK: 0.24%
- Russia: 1.1%
- France: 1.5%
- Italy: 1.6%
- Serbia: 5.7%

From the ordered list, the two countries with the smallest percentages of population lost are:
- US: 0.1%
- UK: 0.24%

Therefore, the two countries that lost the smallest percentage of their populations are the US and the UK.

Hence, the correct answer is:
- the US and the UK
