Answer c seems to describe the situation best.

Answer a: cost of living is not necessarily related to remittance. There are no figures for cost of living. So a is irrelevant

Answer b: pay is not necessarily related to remittance. There are no figures for wages. So b is irrelevant.

Answer c: confirms the peak year in 2002 and the decline in 2005.

Answer d: ignores the detail of what happened between 1999 and 2005, so misses the peak in 2002.

Answer e: a parabola would show a decline similar to the rise. But the curve appears to be asymmetrical, because the decline is steeper than the rise. So e does not describe the behaviour well.
