Answer: D

Correct answer: Probably false

The passage states the opposite: pre-berthing time has been marginally increasing over the years. It is the average turn-around time that has been falling. The statement therefore runs against what is written, and since the fourth option here is worded ‘probably false’ rather than ‘definitely false’, that is the strongest verdict available - and the right one to choose when the contradiction is clear but the passage hedges with ‘marginally’.
