While it is difficult to provide an exact timeframe for the statement as it depends on the context, generally, the past 30 years have seen a significant increase in mergers and acquisitions as companies seek to diversify and grow. Therefore, option C) 30 is the most appropriate choice. Options A) 5 and B) 50 are unlikely as the increase in M&A activity has been ongoing for more than five years, but it is not likely that the extent of M&A activity has increased to such a significant degree in the last 50 years. Option D) 100 is also unlikely as it would cover a period of time that is too long for the statement to accurately reflect the recent trend of M&A activity.
