1. Option - B (2007) As the Size of the dot is larger (Revenue of the year is based on the Size of the Dot).
2. Option - A. (41.6%) As the number of employees in 2007 is 120 & 2008 is 70, Growth is Calculated as ((70-120)/120)*100.
3. Option - E. (number of employees increases, revenue increase), As the number of employees increasing year on year and size of the DOT increasing year on year. so, Number of Employees and Revenue is increasing Y-O-Y.
4. Option - B. (number of employees stays about the same, revenue stays about the same)

For the first option, the dot's size in year 2007 and 2011 looks equal, doesn't it?
