Answer:

D) 1980 to 2000

Step-by-step explanation:

Finding the average rate of change in each interval to determine the greatest one.

Production per interval

1950-1960 = $(21-11) \ million$ = 10 million

1960-1970 = $(41-21)\ million$ = 20 million

1970-1980 = $(71-41)\ million$ = 30 million

1980-2000 = $(161-71)\ million= 90$ million

Rate of change (1950-1960)= $\frac{10}{11} \times 100= 90.90\%$

Rate of change (1960-1970) = $\frac{20}{21} \times 100= 95.23\%$

Rate of change (1970-1980)= $\frac{30}{41} \times 100= 73.17\%$

Rate of change (1980-2000)= $\frac{90}{71} \times 100= 126.76\%$

∴ rate of change between 1980 to 2000 is 126.78%
