The graph here is mentioning about the percentage of students qualified but not the students who appeared. Since we do not know the number of students appeared for the exam over the period of seven years so the answer will be D.

Here, the number of students appeared for the examination is may be different or not.

So we can't decide. Therefore, answer data is inadequate.

In this problem, we have the same of number students appeared for the examination for the all seven years i.e. we have the same number students for 1998 and 1999 because we are taking it for the whole seven years. Then in this we have 80% of total of students in both the cases. Then how can we say that we don't have the proper data.
