Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 2015, 2019.

Years Production
(in 1000 tonnes)		 Sale
(in 1000 tonnes)
2015 1250 1000
2016 1400 1290
2017 1450 1100
2018 1500 1450
2019 1600 139

For 2015 = sale/production × 100 = 1000/1250 × 100  = 80%

For 2016 = 1290/1400 × 100 = 92.14% 

For 2017 = 1100/1450 × 100 = 75.86%

For 2018 = 1450/1500 × 100 = 96.66%

For 2019 = 1390/1600 × 100 = 86.875%

One can clearly see that the sale is 80% or more but less than 90% of the production for 2015 and 2019.
