Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 2019.
The number (in hundreds) of trees axed in four cities
During the period 2016 = 18 + 25 + 18 + 20 = 81
During the period 2017 = 25 + 23 + 18.5 + 18 = 84.5
During the period 2018 = 23 + 24 + 18.4 + 17.6 = 83
During the period 2019 = 24.4 + 19.5 + 19 + 16 = 78.9
During the period 2020 = 22.5 + 21 + 20 + 17.5 = 81
Hence, the least number of trees are axed in year 2019
