Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : 1999

From the table, 

Number of tourist in 1999 = 26 + 122 + 103 + 381 + 21 = 653

Number of tourist in 2001 = 28 + 120 + 121 + 391 + 24 = 684 

Number of tourist in 2000 = 27 + 128 + 115 + 393 + 24 = 687

Number of tourist in 2003 = 31 + 113 + 120 + 396 + 30 = 690

∴ The total number of international tourist arrivals from all the above sources been the lowest in 1999
