    Option C 16.36% is correct.

    Explanation:

    We can find the growth using the following growth formula:

    g = (Earning per share today / Earning per share n years ago) ^ (1/5) - 1

    EPS of this year is $3.2 per share and 5 ago was $1.5 per share.

    So by putting values we have:

    g = (3.2 / 1.5) ^ (1/5) - 1 = 16.36%

    The right option is C.
