Answer: C. The decline in the P/E ratio more than offset earnings growth and this pushed the market cap down.

Explanation:

Market Cap = P/E ratio * Earnings

Market cap is dependent on both the P/E ratio and Earnings as shown by the formula and as shown on the graph, the P/E ratio kept on decreasing which means that for the Market Cap to decrease, the downward pull of the P/E ratio must have overshadowed the growth in earnings such that the Market Cap went down instead of up.

For instance, if the earnings were $40 billion and the P/E ratio was 15, Market Cap would be $600 billion.

If earnings increased to $45 billion but P/E ratio decreased to 10, Market Cap would become $450 billion.
