Option A is not a reasonable choice as it implies that only 5% of the world's stored information was digital in 2000, which is not accurate. Option C sounds a bit unlikely, as it suggests that there was only 39% of digital information worldwide in 2000, which is again not accurate. The best option is B, as it indicates that by 2015, 98% of the stored information in the world was digital, which is a plausible scenario, given the exponential growth of digital information in recent years.
