1981 - 1990 1991 - 2000 2001 - 2010

Explanation:

Step1: Find absolute values

To determine the magnitude of change, we find the absolute value of each change in value. For 1981 - 1990: $|-200| = 200$. For 1991 - 2000: $|-80| = 80$. For 2001 - 2010: $|800| = 800$.

Step2: Compare absolute values

Compare 200, 80, and 800. We see that 800 is the largest.

Answer:

2001 - 2010
