E
The college drawing the most investment income in 2008 is represented by the LEFTMOST pair of data points.
Here, the investment income is APPROXIMATELY $640 million, and the tuition income is APPROXIMATELY $180 million
So, the TOTAL income ≈ $650 million + $190 million
≈ $840 million
We can see from the diagram that there were APPROXIMATELY 4,000 students.
So, the TOTAL income per student ≈ ($840 million)/(40,00)
≈ ($840,000,000)/(4,000)
≈ ($840,000)/(4)
≈ $210,000
Answer choice E is the only answer that is close to $210,000

If the tuition income (green circle) at a college exceeds its investment income (black dot), the green circle is ABOVE the black dot.
The 5 right-most colleges all feature the green circle ABOVE the black dot.
Also the 8th and 9th colleges (from the left) have the green circle ABOVE the black dot
So, in total, there are 7 "tuition driven" colleges
