Official Explanation
Look only at the total enrollment column at the right. This shows a few small yearly decreases and three larger decreases of 42, 41, and 40, in the periods from 2000 to 2001, 2001 to 2002, and 2005 to 2006, respectively. Put each decrease over the starting value of that period, to determine the percent change. The calculator shows that the greatest is
40/800=0.5=5%
Answer: E
