Final answer:

Without the specific percentages for males and females in 1984 and 2014, we cannot determine whose percentage decreased more. Therefore, the answer is (d) Insufficient information to determine.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine whose percentage decreased more from 1984 to 2014, males or females, we need specific data on the percentages of each group for both years. Without this information, we cannot calculate the percentage decreases accurately. The decline in numbers would tell us by what percentage one group's longevity or population numbers have decreased more than the other's if the data were provided. This kind of analysis commonly entails calculating the percentage difference for each group separately and then comparing the results to determine which group had a greater decrease.

Given that the information provided does not include the actual percentages of males or females for the years in question, we cannot perform the necessary calculations. Therefore, the correct answer based on the information provided should be:

(d) Insufficient information to determine.
