The correct answer is A) A.
The growth rate during the period 2016-2020 is calculated by comparing the profit in the final year (2020) to the profit in the initial year (2016).
Growth Rate (2016-2020) = ((Profit in 2020 – Profit in 2016) / Profit in 2016) * 100%
Company A: ((34 – 7) / 7) * 100% = (27 / 7) * 100% ≈ 385.71%
Company B: ((7 – 1.5) / 1.5) * 100% = (5.5 / 1.5) * 100% ≈ 366.67%
Company C: ((12 – 4) / 4) * 100% = (8 / 4) * 100% = 200%
Company D: ((25 – 20) / 20) * 100% = (5 / 20) * 100% = 25%
Comparing the calculated growth rates for the entire period: Company A (≈385.71%), Company B (≈366.67%), Company C (200%), Company D (25%). Company A has the highest growth rate during this period.
