    Option B is correct.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    CPI stands for Consumer Price index and is used to find the inflation.

    The formula used to find CPI is

    CPI = (Price of baskets of goods in one year / Price of baskets of goods in base year) * 100

    Here the base year is the starting year, in our case it is 1983 and price of can of paint is $16.35

    So, CPI in 2000

    Using the above formula and putting the values

    CPI in 2000 = (28.94 / 16.35) * 100

    CPI in 2000 = 177

    CPI in 2005

    Using the above formula and putting the values

    CPI in 2005 = (32.54 / 16.35) * 100

    CPI in 2005 = 199

    Difference in CPI between 2000 and 2005 = CPI in 2005 - CPI in 2000

    Difference in CPI between 2000 and 2005 = 199 - 177

    Difference in CPI between 2000 and 2005 = 22

    So, Option B is correct.
