Which of the following has recorded the highest rate of increase in area during 2005-06 to 2009-10 ?

Answer: C

Flowers recorded the highest rate of increase from 2005-06 to 2009-10.

\[ \text{flowers}: \frac{2-1}{1} = 100\% \]

\[ \text{fruits}: \frac{63-53}{53} \approx 18.9\% \]

\[ \text{vegetables}: \frac{79-72}{72} \approx 9.7\% \]

\[ \text{total}: \frac{209-187}{187} \approx 11.8\% \]

Flowers started from a very small base of 1 lakh hectares, so their percentage rise is far above the others.
