The share of agriculture in the gross domestic product between the time of independence and now has
Answer: C
Agriculture's share has reduced to less than half of its contribution at independence.
The excerpt gives 52% at independence and 17% now. Half of 52% is 26%, and 17% is well below that, so the share has fallen to less than half (to about a third).
'Fallen by 35%' confuses percentage points with percent: the fall is 35 percentage points (52 - 17), which is a relative fall of about 67%. 'Reduced to half' would mean 26%, which is not the figure given.
