Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

  • When we see the graph carefully we observe that the slope or change is highest for year 2004 and 2007. So, In the year $ 2004,=,\frac{25-15}{15},\times ,100 $ % = 66.66% In the year $ 2007=\frac{45-30}{30}\times 100%=50% $ Hence, the percentage rise is highest in the year 2004.
