India's GDP due to agriculture = 17% of 2 trillion =0.34 trillion.
FRom i, USA GDP due to agriculture> 0.34 trillion and <1 trillion i.e. it's percentage must be >2% and less than 5.8%
So, USA can be C/E/H.
From point 3, UK must be D and France must be H=> U.S.A must be C/E.
Now, Germany and Japan can be C or I or E.
.'. Everything except option D can be ruled out.
