To find the increase in price from 2015 to 2019, we need to calculate the percentage increase.

First, we need to find the difference in price:

$120 - $98 = $22

Next, we need to find the percentage increase relative to the original price:

($22 / $98) x 100% = 22.45%

Rounding to one decimal place, this gives us a price increase of 22.2%. Therefore, the correct answer is D.
