    D. 100 percent

    Step-by-step explanation:

    it is 100 percent because the reservoir is putting out 600k, but loses 300k, which would be easy to think it would be 50 percent because 300k is half of 600k, but however its peek outage is putting out 600k, therefore 600k = 600k, 100%.

    B. 50 %

    Formula : Output / Input. X 100%

    : 300/600. X 100

    = 50%
