The correct answer is option C) A significant decline of 95 percent in cases in Nigeria.

The statement that does not align with the identified challenges in eradicating polio is (C) "A significant decline of 95 percent in cases in Nigeria." The reason this statement doesn't align is because a significant decline in polio cases in Nigeria is actually a positive development in the efforts to eradicate the disease. Nigeria has historically been one of the countries with a higher incidence of polio cases, so a substantial decrease is a sign of progress in the eradication campaign.

On the other hand, statements A, B, and D highlight challenges in the eradication process. If vaccination programs are scaled back (A), there is a risk of outbreaks. Outbreaks flaring up between 2009 and 2010 (B) emphasizes the volatility of the situation during that period. Unsanitary conditions and warfare hindering vaccination efforts (D) point to the challenges faced in conflict zones and areas with poor sanitation.

In summary, the statement that doesn't align with the challenges is the positive development of a significant decline in polio cases in Nigeria.

Therefore, the correct answer is option C) A significant decline of 95 percent in cases in Nigeria.

The question probable may be:
