Official Explanation
Tuition is the bottom part of each bar, which grew each year, so (A) is correct. Rent is the middle part of each bar. In 2007, rent spans more than two horizontal lines and is thus greater than $2,000. In 2008, rent spans fewer than two horizontal lines, and is thus less than $2,000. So rent decreased from 2007 to 2008, and (B) is not correct. (C) is correct, because rent plus food plus tuition equals the height of the full bar, which clearly grew each year. The answer is (A) and (C).
Answer: A,C
