Explanation

The National Testing Agency dropped this item from evaluation, so no option is a settled key.

The question compares printed copies with distributed copies to find the undistributed share.

This needs the distributed totals for every newspaper.

One of these totals rests on the Newspaper Y City 1 value printed as 35000.

That anomalous figure makes the undistributed count unreliable.

So the percentage cannot be computed soundly from the printed data.

For that reason the agency cancelled the question.
