In 1980, 100% of the population 1980 ate 100% of the 1980 fish consumption, for a per-capita consumption of 100%/100% = 1. in 1989, 109% of the 1980 population ate 104.5% of the 1980 fish consumption, for a per-capita consumption of 104.5%/109% < 1. Thus, the math means (E) must be correct.
Hope this helps!
