Solution

profit increased only in the years 2004, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 & 2010.

 percentage increase in the profit in 2004 = $$\frac{50-20}{20}\times100=\frac{30}{20}\times100=150$$%

 percentage increase in the profit in 2006 = $$\frac{50-40}{40}\times100=\frac{10}{40}\times100=25$$%

 percentage increase in the profit in 2007 = $$\frac{55-50}{50}\times100=\frac{5}{50}\times100=10$$%

 percentage increase in the profit in 2008 = $$\frac{70-55}{55}\times100=\frac{15}{55}\times100=27.27$$%

 percentage increase in the profit in 2009 = $$\frac{75-70}{70}\times100=\frac{5}{70}\times100=7.14$$%

percentage increase in the profit in 2010 = $$\frac{90-75}{75}\times100=\frac{15}{75}\times100=20$$%

so the answer is option D.
