For option I refer to the second chart.
We are interested in increase only. Increase in advertisement revenue has occurred in $$10$$ year period from $$1940$$ to $$1950$$ and then from $$1950$$ to $$1960$$
Among those two bars the difference between the revenue from $$1940$$ to $$1950$$ is $$18$$ million
while the difference between the revenue from $$1950$$ to $$1960$$ is $$27$$ million. Hence option I is correct

Now for Option II
Again refer to the second chart. Decreasing revenue has occurred from $$1960$$ to $$1970$$ and again from $$1970$$ to $$1980$$
Now, see if there has been decrease in the same $$10$$ year periods in avg circulation of newspaper by referring to the first chart and indeed it has decreased

Now for option III
Refer to the third chart. The avg pages from $$1970$$ to $$1980$$ has increased by $$4$$ so this option is not correct
Hence option D

Pretty straightforward:
I: 1940-1950 is 18mn; 1950-60 is 27mn. The remaining years is a decrease. So I is correct
II:From the graphs, it looks like average daily circulation and advertisement revenue correspond. Decrease in average daily circulation is for years 1970 and 1980 and average revenue decreased in 1970 and 1980 as well. So II is also correct
III. Read this carefully. It might seem like it is asking for percent increase. Avergae number of pages increased in 4. So III in incorrect.

Correct Answer is D- I and II
