Solution :
The rate of decline can be seen only in 2001, 2002, and 2004.
The rate of decline in production in 2004 = $\frac{1640-1240}{1640}×100$ = 24.39%
The rate of decline in production in 2002 = $\frac{1085-720}{1085}×100$ = 33.64%
The rate of decline in production in 2001 = $\frac{1244-1085}{1244}×100$ = 12.78%
So, the highest rate of decline is 33.64%.
Hence, the correct answer is 33.64%.
