Answer: Option A
Solution:
\begin{aligned}
& \text{Chemical %} \\
& = \frac{986.4 - 745.3}{745.3} \times 100 \\
& = \frac{241.1 \times 100}{745.3} \\
& = 32.34\% \\
& \\
& \text{Solar %} \\
& = \frac{1792.1 - 1363.5}{1363.5} \times 100 \\
& = \frac{428.6}{1363.5} \times 100 \\
& = 31.4\% \\
& \\
& \text{Electricity %} \\
& = \frac{2365.1 - 2065.8}{2065.8} \times 100 \\
& = \frac{299.3}{2064.8} \times 100 \\
& = 14.4\% \\
& \\
& \text{Nuclear %} \\
& = \frac{2182.1 - 1674.3}{1674.3} \times 100 \\
& = \frac{507.8}{1674.3} \times 100 \\
& = 30.3\% \\\end{aligned}So the highest percentage is in Chemical area
