Correct answer is D
The percentage increase in production compared to previous year for different years are:
In 1996 = [ (40 - 25)/25 x 100 ] % = 60%
In 1997 = [ (60 - 40)/40 x 100 ] % = 50%
In 1998, there is a decrease in production.
In 1999 = [ (65 - 45)/45 x 100 ] % = 44.44%
In 2000, there is a decrease in production.
In 2001 = [ (75 - 50)/50 x 100 ] % = 50%
In 2002 = [ (80 - 75)/75 x 100 ] % = 6.67%
Clearly, there is maximum percentage increase in production in 1996.
