London and 20%:
1) You are looking for the first area in which the use of the word "you" exceeds 50% (as that would mean you > ye)
2) X coordinate of the North Graph given by "1520 to 1559", corresponding y coordinate is 20%

Official Explanation
The graph shows that all three areas greatly favored ye over you until 1520–1559. During that period, London began to favor you, since the percent use of you shown in the graph corresponding to London during that time period is slightly greater than 50 percent, as indicated by the height of the black circle for 1520–1559. The percents shown in the graph for that time period in the North and in East Anglia were each less than 50 percent. So the graph indicates that the first area of modern England that favored the use of you over ye was London.
The correct answer is London.
The percent use of you shown in the graph corresponding to the area of the North between 1520 and 1559 is approximately 20 percent, as indicated by the height of the white square for 1520–1559. As the text indicates, this is the percent of the surveyed writings from the area of the North between 1520 and 1559 in which you was used when either you or ye would be appropriate.
The correct answer is 20%.
