I think either of 2 statements is sufficient! the equation is D(t)=10,000(1+(r/100))t. T is already given as 3.

I think D.
A 'n' B out because they compare fish to the rate.

do the choices D and E fault in parallelism of "pass" and "allow"?!

Hi All, i will also go with A because it is using correct parallelism form 'that.....that..' b and C are incorrect because of wrong usage of 'which'. Thanks, could someone explain the difference of usage with "which" and "that" please. I want to nail the difference once for all!...
