Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
CONCEPT
For each category in a data table, a combined total is found by adding all component values from the same column.
To identify the maximum, compute every column total and compare the resulting sums.
APPLICATION
2006: 6,000 + 7,000 = 13,000.
2007: 9,000 + 9,400 = 18,400.
2008: 13,000 + 9,000 = 22,000.
2009: 11,000 + 10,000 = 21,000.
2010: 8,000 + 12,000 = 20,000.
CROSS-CHECK
Comparing the five totals shows that 22,000 is greater than 21,000, 20,000, 18,400, and 13,000.
Therefore, the total production is maximum in 2008.
