Review the provided table data for the number of sick units in the years 1986 and 1991. For Cotton textiles, the units increased from 4123 in 1986 to 6057 in 1991; for Petroleum, they increased from 6751 to 8208; and for Paper, the units increased from 1881 to 2634. The question asks for an increase from the year 1989 to 1991, but 1989 data is not presented in the table at all. Because the required baseline year data is completely missing from the given information, none of the listed conclusions can be reached.
