The percentage increase from Year 1 to Year 2 is calculated as $\frac{5,880,000 - 200,000}{200,000} \times 100 = 2,840\%$. The percentage decrease from Year 2 to Year 3 is calculated as $\frac{5,880,000 - 5,250,000}{5,880,000} \times 100 = 10.7\%$. None of the provided options accurately reflect these calculations, indicating a potential error in the question or answer choices.
