C Correct answer
Explanation

Production of B in 2014 = 4.8. Production of B in 2016 = 5.7. Increase = 5.7 - 4.8 = 0.9. Percentage increase = (0.9 / 4.8) * 100 = 18.75%.

AI explanation

Using the percentage increase formula, the production of rice in state B for 2014 is 4.8 million tonnes and for 2016 is 5.7 million tonnes. The absolute increase is 5.7 minus 4.8, which equals 0.9 million tonnes. The percentage increase is calculated as 0.9 divided by 4.8 and then multiplied by 100, resulting in 18.75. The result is 18.75.
