The rationale for 2011 as the answer is something that needs to be clarified. I believe that 2008, with 33% decrease, is the answer. Perhaps I am mistaken.
By first inspection of the line graph for fruits, only years 2006 and 2008 are eligible answers. Now, comparing the figure for 2005 and 2006
(New - Original) ÷ Original
(10 - 14) ÷ 14 = 28.57%
And that of 2007 and 2008
(8 - 12) ÷ 14 = 33.33%
If you calculate for 2011, you have
(7 - 8.5) ÷ 8.5 = 17.64% approximate decrease, which is not as high a decrease as the 33% for 2008, except I am mistaken.

For me the answer should be C
If you scan the fruit line graph and see all the % decrease from the previous year (I counted all of them) C is the greatest or highest with a decrease in 2008 from 2007
12-8/12=0.33333
My answer is C and NOT D
