A. This year, Eveline Enterprise’s revenue from sales is lower than that of Broma Enterprise.
Incorrect.
Revenue is not of concern. We don't know anything about whether the price increased than decreased.
B. From last year to this year, the increase in volume of sugar produced by Broma Enterprise is greater than that of Eveline Enterprise.
Incorrect
We cant compare the production of two as we have no clue about the two companies.
C. This year, sugar production of Broma Enterprise has been higher than that of Eveline Enterprise.
Incorrect.
Same as B.
D. From last year to this year, the percentage increase in sugar production by Broma Enterprise is more than that of Eveline Enterprise.
Correct.
Percentage increase is the term that we can for sure say is increased here as it is irrelevant of each other.
E. This year, Broma Enterprise has been more cost-efficient in its production than it was last year.
Incorrect.
This is not at relevance here.

B+E produces all sugar required by the country.
Last year, B<E (but by how much we do not know), lets say B is 30, and E is 70. So B:E is 3:7
This year both companies increased production to lets say 150, but E's share in the production has dropped as compared to that of last year. So, This year B:E is 4:6 or even more or less. But definitely more than 3:7.
We can infer that the growth in B's production (percentage) is more this year than that of E's.
A. This year, Eveline Enterprise’s revenue from sales is lower than that of Broma Enterprise.........Revenue is out of context. Even if B:E is 4:7 and the price/kg is same, E's revenue will still be higher. ELiminate.
B. From last year to this year, the increase in volume of sugar produced by Broma Enterprise is greater than that of Eveline Enterprise.....Absolute numbers cannot be inferred from the given passage. Eliminate.
C. This year, sugar production of Broma Enterprise has been higher than that of Eveline Enterprise......Cant say for sure. Case like 4:7. Eliminate.
D. From last year to this year, the percentage increase in sugar production by Broma Enterprise is more than that of Eveline Enterprise.........Correct as we anticipated. Keep It.
E. This year, Broma Enterprise has been more cost-efficient in its production than it was last year.......It is true in general. But nothing related to costs is mentioned in passage. OFS. Eliminate.
Option D is the best answer.
