D Correct answer
Explanation

Growth rates: Marketing (30/120=25%), Finance (15/150=10%), HR (-10/80=-12.5%), Operations (25/100=25%), Analytics (40/50=80%). Analytics is the highest.

AI explanation

To find the percentage growth, apply the formula ((Final Value minus Initial Value) divided by Initial Value) multiplied by 100. The growth for Marketing is ((150 minus 120) divided by 120) multiplied by 100, equaling 25 percent, while Finance is ((165 minus 150) divided by 150) multiplied by 100, equaling 10 percent. Operations shows a growth of ((125 minus 100) divided by 100) multiplied by 100, which is 25 percent, but Analytics shows a growth of ((90 minus 50) divided by 50) multiplied by 100, resulting in an 80 percent growth.
