According to the information given, China's per capita output increased from 1980 to 2011. The options given for the increase are:
A) increased moderately - there is no information to suggest that the increase was only moderate
B) increased by about 30 percent - there is no information to suggest that the increase was only 30 percent
C) more than doubled - while there is no specific percentage given for the increase, "more than doubled" suggests an increase of 100 percent or more, but this is not as significant as the increase described in option D
D) more than quadrupled - quadrupled means an increase of four times, so if the per capita output increased by more than quadrupled, it means it increased by more than four times. This suggests the most significant increase out of the options given.
