Official Explanation

(D) The smallest change in 2010 was approximately –0.1 in June 2010. The greatest change in 2011 was 0.7 in March 2011. The difference is 0.7 – (–0.1) = 0.8.

(B) In the second half of 2011, increases become smaller and by October, the CPI declines. The longest period of slowing change in the CPI was the second half of 2011, a period of six months beginning in August 2011.
