Dear Friends,
Here is a detailed explanation to this question-
Choice A: This answer choice incorrectly compares "12 percent" with 1989. Thus, this answer choice is incorrect.
Choice B: This answer choice repeats the comparison-related error found in Option A. Additionally, this answer choice uses the word "many" to refer to the uncountable noun "12 percent". Thus, this answer choice is incorrect.
Choice C: This answer choice suffers from pronoun ambiguity, as it is unclear what noun "it" refers to. Thus, this answer choice is incorrect.
Choice D: This answer choice maintains proper pronoun use and comparison and is quite concise. Thus, this answer choice is correct.
Choice E: This answer choice is needlessly wordy due to the use of the phrase "that of", which is not entirely necessary. Thus, this answer choice is not a very good one.
Hence, D is the best answer choice.
