Correct answer: C
Concept: To identify the year with the maximum difference between two quantities in a table (here, the highest and average marks), compute the difference for each year separately and then compare all the computed differences to find the largest one.
Application: Using the Maths column from the table (High − Average) for each year:
2007: 94 − 60 = 34
2008: 85 − 62 = 23
2009: 92 − 68 = 24
2010: 91 − 64 = 27
Cross-check: Comparing the four differences — 34, 23, 24, and 27 — the largest value is 34, confirming that 2007 has the maximum difference between the highest and average Maths marks.
