Fewer new businesses were started in 2010 than in other years.
Explanation: The graph shows the highest value in 2005 (same as 2006) and a steady decline through 2010, which is the lowest point. The other statements contradict the graph (the peak is 2005, 2006 equals 2005, and values decline rather than remain constant from 2006–2009).
