The correct answer is

22.5%

The correct answer is 22.5%.

$$ \text{Percentage Increase} = \left( \frac{90}{400} \right) \times 100 $$ $$ \text{Percentage Increase} = 0.225 \times 100 $$ $$ \text{Percentage Increase} = 22.5\% $$ Final Answer Explanation The calculation shows that the total consumption of tea in State C from 2015 to 2017 (490 hundred tonnes) is 22.5% higher than the total consumption in States A, B, and D in 2015 (400 hundred tonnes). Therefore, the correct option is 22.5%.
