• B. 2015
• C. 2016
• D. 2013 and 2015

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Total production each year 2011: \( 300+250+150+200 = 900 \).
2012: \( 350+150+50+250 = 800 \).
2013: \( 300+400+200+100 = 1000 \).
2014: \( 350+100+150+200 = 800 \).
2015: \( 300+150+250+350 = 1050 \).
2016: \( 400+300+350+250 = 1300 \). Step 2: Find minimum Minimum total = 800 (in 2012 and 2014). \[ \boxed{2012 \text{ and } 2014} \]
