200% more than 2,000 is 6,000 products per month.
Now, in order the monthly average, from 2005 through 2008, to be 6,000 products per month, the company should produce total of 6,000*48 products in these four years (48 months).
Since in 2005, the company produced total of 2,000*12 products, then from 2006 through 2008, the company should produce 6,000*48-2,000*12=2,000*12*(3*4-1)=2,000*12*11=264,000.
Answer: D.
