I think the answer is B.
Since the increase does not happen proportionally, we cannot predict or extrapolate. So the only way to figure out is to look back (so to speak).

Stmt 2 Says that Profit exceeded 5Million at 350K units => it will definetely be greater than 5Million for 380K units. Hence > 4Million for 350K units.

What is the OA?
