Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Decimals and fractions
1. The position paper links decimals to percentages and percentages to algebra.
2. So a gap in percentages often traces back to decimals, which is the base idea.
3. Algebra, mensuration and coordinates come later or are unrelated to percentage sense.
