KAPLAN OFFICIAL EXPLANATION:
First of all, numbers in the original sentence should be changed to the singular number. The only time that the plural numbers should be used is when one wants to discuss actual numbers, as in the numbers 4 and 12. Eliminate (A) and (C). Your remaining options ask you to choose between greater than ten percent and more than ten percent. As we said earlier, greater than is correct only when it is used to describe numbers alone (greater than ten). Since this sentence measures a percent rather than solely a number, the correct option is more than. Only (D) remains.
An 800 test taker is careful when dealing with percents. While ten is clearly a countable quantity, ten percent is not and requires different terms to describe it.
