Looking at the graph
During the period 1980-81, non-fiction sales exceed those of fiction sales.
(because the sales in fiction went down where as that of non-fiction went down)
A similar trend is observed in the period 1986-87.
During the periods 1981-82,1982-83,1983-84, and 1984-85, the increase in sales in Non-Fiction is greater than that of Fiction.
This makes it 6 years, where the sales of Non-fiction exceeded that of Fiction.(Option E)
