After converting percentages to decimals in all options, it seems that there is an error within the question as none of the options are in correct ascending order. Typographical errors in the question prevent an accurate comparison of numbers, and the intended values are unclear. Without correction or clarification, we cannot determine a valid answer from the provided options.

The question asks to identify the option that presents numbers in ascending order. Ascending order means the numbers are arranged from smallest to largest. To compare these numbers accurately, we must first understand that percentages represent a number out of 100, to convert percentages to decimals we divide them by 100. Next, we look at the given options and convert any percentages to their decimal equivalents, ensuring they can be compared:

  • Option A: 0.3, 3, 7.9% (which is 0.079 as a decimal)
  • Option B: 2.0, 0.3, 7.9% (which is 0.079 as a decimal)
  • Option C: 7.9%, Ā:0.3 (not a valid representation)
  • Option D: 7.9% (which is 0.079 as a decimal), 0.3, 10.3

By comparing the decimal values, we find that Option B lists the numbers out of order (2.0 is not less than 0.3). Option D also lists the numbers incorrectly, as 0.3 is not greater than 0.079. Option A contains a typo with '3,' which is not represented as a decimal or percentage, so it cannot be properly compared.

By process of elimination and assuming 3 was meant to be 0.3, option C would be in correct ascending order if Ā:0.3 was intended to be a decimal value less than 7.9%. However, given the typo and unknown meaning of Ā, the question as it stands does not provide a valid answer in ascending order, indicating there might be an error within the question itself.
