List M consists of 50 decimals, each of which has a value between 1 and 10 and has two non-zero digits after the decimal place (e.g. 5.68 could be a number in List M). The sum of the 50 decimals is S. The truncated sum of the 50 decimals, T, is defined as follows. Each decimal in List M is rounded down to the nearest integer (e.g. 5.68 would be rounded down to 5); T is the sum of the resulting integers. If S - T is x percent of T, which of the following is a possible value of x?

I. 2%
II. 34%
III. 99%

(A) I only
(B) II only
(C) I and II only
(D) II and III only
