Correct Answer:

Explanation:

Percentage increase in 1994 = \(\frac{22}{215}\) × 100  = 10.23%

Percentage increase in 1995 = \(\frac{14.5}{237}\) × 100 = 6.11%

Percentage increase in 1996 = \(\frac{16.5}{251.5}\) × 100 = 6.56%

Percentage increase in 1997 = \(\frac{31.5}{268}\) × 100 = 11.75%

Percentage increase in 1998 = \(\frac{34.5}{299.5}\) × 100 = 11.51%

So , minimum percentage production is in year 1995
