We need to find the year with the lowest surplus of rice among the given years. The surplus values for years 2008-2013 are:
– 2008: 8
– 2009: 2
– 2010: 2
– 2011: 1
– 2012: 2
– 2013: 3
– Comparing these values, the lowest surplus is 1 million tonne. This occurred in the year 2011. This matches option B and the official answer key.

Calculate the surplus (Production – Consumption) for each year and identify the year corresponding to the minimum calculated surplus value.

Finding the minimum or maximum value within a dataset or a derived series is a basic data analysis task.
