Explanation:

Total Automobile Production is as follows:

Year 2004: 800 + 500 + 475 = 1775

Year 2005: 700 + 550 + 450 = 1700

Year 2006: 1025 + 675 + 475 = 2175

Year 2007: 1200 + 650 + 475 = 2325

Year 2008: 1250 + 600 + 350 = 2200

2005 and 2008 show a decrease in automobile production.

Percentage decrease for 2005 = $\frac{1775-1700}{1775}$ × 100 = 4.23%

Percentage decrease for 2008 = $\frac{2325-2200}{2325}$ × 100 = 5.38%

Hence, option (d).
