Answer: D
A fall in the gender gap from 22 to 17 points means that female literacy rose faster than male literacy, so both are probably improving at different rates, as the key gives. If both had risen at the same rate the gap would not have narrowed.
The statement that female literacy has improved is true but incomplete, because the gap alone does not prove it. It cannot be said that male literacy dropped, since a gap can narrow while both increase.
