Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Correct Option
Option D: 31.25%
Step-by-Step Solution
Extract Production Data for 2018 (Orange Bars):
Company A = 140
Company B = 190
Company C = 150
Calculate Total Production:
Total Production = Company A + Company B + Company C
Total Production = 140 + 190 + 150 = 480
Calculate Company C's Percentage:
Percentage = (Company C Production / Total Production) * 100
Percentage = (150 / 480) * 100
Percentage = 0.3125 * 100 = 31.25%
Summary Note
It is important to note that the solution text provided in the image contains a calculation error, as it sums the total values of both production capacity and actual production (860) rather than focusing only on the production in the year 2018 as requested by the question. The correct total production for 2018 is 480, leading to the correct percentage of 31.25%.
