Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
First, calculate the total buildings constructed from 2020 to 2022 for each town.
Town A: 3300 + 3320 + 3400 = 10,020. Town B: 2792 + 2800 + 2900 = 8,492. Town C: 3192 + 3200 + 3268 = 9,660.
Town D: 3664 + 3760 + 3792 = 11,216. Town E: 2320 + 2350 + 2380 = 7,050. Town F: 2530 + 2560 + 2588 = 7,678.
Comparing totals to 8500, Towns A, C, and D exceed the limit. Thus, exactly three towns meet the condition.
