Correct Answer 2016
Production increased in 2016 compared to 2015 = (1400 - 1250)/1250 × 100% = 12%
Since in the given options there is no such option that includes 2016 except option A, we don't need to check any further. Because 2016 is a valid year where production increased by more than 10%, it has to be there in the answer.
∴ The production increased by more than 10% of that in the previous year in 2016.
