The OA 'D' could be disputed. If one were to follow the essentials of CR, a conclusion can be drawn only from the premises. In the context, the premises only mention about the number of students going up and the worsening ratio. They do not talk about the number of teachers at all, whether going up or going down proportionately or disproportionately. Therefore, choices B and D cannot be concluded per se. We must never use real life situation or worldly - wiseness in conclusions questions.
I feel A is the maximum that we can conclude in the given question
