Which of the following two years have recorded the highest rate of increase in area under the total horticulture ?

Answer: D

The highest rate of increase in total horticulture area was between 2006-07 and 2007-08.

Rate of increase means the percentage rise over the previous year.

\[ \text{2005-06 to 2006-07}: \frac{7}{187} \approx 3.7\% \]

\[ \text{2006-07 to 2007-08}: \frac{8}{194} \approx 4.1\% \]

\[ \text{2007-08 to 2008-09}: \frac{5}{202} \approx 2.5\% \]

The next year gives 2 over 207, about 1%. The highest figure, 4.1%, is for 2007-08 over 2006-07.
