题目信息
The total market value of real estate in Altonville has steadily declined over the past four years. This decline has meant that the overall figure on which the city's property tax is based-the assessed value of that real estate-has also declined. The percentage of assessed value that was paid as property taxes to the city, however, did not change from year to year during this period.
The information above most strongly supports which of the following?
A:The percentage of Altonville's yearly revenue that comes from money collected in property taxes did not change over the past four years.
B:The percentage of Altonville's yearly revenue that comes from money collected in property taxes has declined steadily over the past four years.
C:The amount of revenue that Altonville collected from property taxes was lower last year than it was four years ago.
D:During the past four years, Altonville officials increased tax rates on other sources of revenue such as retail sales and business profits.
E:Altonville will soon require property owners to pay a higher percentage of the assessed value of their property as property tax.

正确答案：
C:The amount of revenue that Altonville collected from property taxes was lower last year than it was four years ago.
原文：A的市值4年内稳步下跌，这意味着A所要交的property tax总额也在同时下跌。然而，在这4年期间根据自身的市值所交的property tax的比例没有变。
假如四年前房产值200W，交了2W的property tax，
四年后房产产值下跌到100W，交了1W的property tax
2/200=1/100=1%
D 正确。根据举得例子，4年前交了2W的property tax，4年后交了1W，所以property tax的总收入下降，所以推出4年期间根据自身的市值所交的property tax的比例没有怎么变。
