The question asks for the comparison between the earning of happy and less happy college students. Option A (-50%) and C (no more) can be eliminated as they both suggest that the earning of happy college students is either lower or the same as their less happy peers, which contradicts the question. Option B (slightly more) can also be eliminated as it suggests a very small difference in earning, which is not significant enough to make a difference. Option D (significantly) is the best choice as it suggests that happy college students earn significantly more than their less happy peers.
