Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
To determine the year with maximum improvement in girls' performance, calculate the percentage point increase from the previous year for each year.
2019: 42% - 32% = +10%.
2020: 55% - 42% = +13%.
2021: 40% - 55% = -15%.
2022: 60% - 40% = +20%.
2023: 42% - 60% = -18%.
Comparing the increases, the highest improvement of +20% occurred in 2022.
