Solution

The correct option is D

and ate 25 percentage less and that the kids tend to eat more when the portions on their plates have been double.


35 percentage less is erroneous - 25 percent less is correct usage. Use the word "percent" with numbers: use "percentage" without using a number. For example: 50 percent children, and a considerable percentage of children.
