Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Compute the year-to-year percentage growth for each country. For X, the maximum is from 2017 to 2018: (20-15)/15 x 100 = 33.33%. For Z, the maximum is from 2018 to 2019: (20-15)/15 x 100 = 33.33%. Y reaches only 20% at most and T also reaches only 20% at most. Therefore, the countries registering the maximum growth are X and Z, so option D is correct.
