Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
- Number of trees planted in 2009.
NGO A
$ \Rightarrow $ $ (10.8+12.4) $ hundred = 2320
NGO B
$ \Rightarrow $ $ (12.6+6.2) $ hundred = 1880
NGO C
$ \Rightarrow $ $ (8.6+6.4) $ hundred = 1500
NGO D
$ \Rightarrow $ $ (8.4+5.2) $ hundred = 1360
NGO E
$ \Rightarrow $ $ (6.9+3.8) $ hundred = 1070
$ \therefore $ NGO D planted the second lowest number of trees.
