The figure shows changes in state district size and changes in the number of House seats allocated to each state between the 1990 and 2010 apportionments. Twelve U.S. House seats shifted across states following the 2010 census; 10 states lost seats and 8 states gained seats, distributed as shown.

Hi, Sajjad1994, could you please provide the OE?
I am confused with the second question. "if a state experienced an increase in average district population more than 200,000 from 1990 to 2010" from this statement, I found there are more than one state , including ID, IA(-1),OK(-1),MS(-1), DE, falling into this category, and among these states at least 3 states lost House seats. I don't understand why the OE is "did not gain".

Did not gain means stayed the same or lost. So that is correct - 3 of the states lost seats (did not gain) and one did not lose (still did not gain)
Here is the OE:
According to the figure, only ID (Idaho), IA (Iowa), DE (Delaware), MS (Mississippi), and OK (Oklahoma) are shaded with the darkest color blue indicating an average district population increase of > 200,000 people and none of those states gained House seats from 1990-2010, but some had a number of House seats that stayed constant. The correct answer is D
