According to the College Board, the average tuition and fees for public four-year institutions in the 1981-82 academic year were $2,143. In contrast, the average tuition and fees for public four-year institutions in the 2007-08 academic year were $8,379. This means that tuition rates were about four times higher in 2007 than they were in 1982. The same trend holds true for private institutions, where tuition rates were also about four times higher in 2007 than they were in 1982. Therefore, option C is the best choice.
