Let us try to explain each option one by one.

a) a street has a width of 5 meters

This is quite reasonable as the width of street can be approximately 5 meters.

b. a cat has a mass of 5 grams

The mass of a newborn cat is 99 grams. So no cat can weigh 5 grams, as its too small.

c.a swimming pool has a capacity of 5 liters

5 liters is too small quantity for a small sized swimming pool too.

d. a beetle has a mass of 5 kilograms

A beetle is a small creature measuring mostly in grams.

$\frac{f - s}{f} = percent\ decrease$

Substitute.
$\frac{20 - 16}{20} = percent\ decrease$
$\frac{4}{20} \ or\ \frac{1}{5}\ or\ twenty\ percent = percent\ decrease$

The percent decrease in shots you made was 20%. That would be option C.
