Great question. One thing I've noticed with a lot of "percent of..." SC questions is that they love to use the pronoun "it" without a clear referent, and this one doesn't disappoint!

Look at "it" in A, B, D, and E. "When it was about 35 percent" ---> what does "it" refer to? If the sentence set up "the figure" or "the number" ahead of time, then "it" could work, but none of these do.

There are other errors in those choices, too, but if you train yourself to look for pronoun errors, often when statistics are given, you can knock out 4 of the 5 with that concept alone here.

Yes, "it" has no precedence in any of the answer choices. The question is comparing percentages, so all, except c, makes comparison between percentage and California (or Hispanics in California). As long as you distinguish what the question is comparing, this question boils down to just one answer.
