    Option (D) is correct.

    Explanation:

    Horizontal analysis is a technique used to find a trend in the corresponding figures of the financial year for one or more than one years.

    In this question base year will be 2018.

    Therefore,

    Percentage change:

    = [ (Net income of 2019 - Net income of 2018) : Net income of 2018] * 100

    = [ ($54,000 - $22,000) : 22,000] * 100

    = 1.4545 * 100

    = 145.45% increase

    In Horizontal analysis a year is taken as base year on the basis of which complete analysis will be done.

    It is done by calculating percentage change.
