I hope the answer isn't D, that would be comparing apples to oranges. Q2 2020 and Q2 2021? Come on now.

This is easy, C is the correct answer. Who doesn't know that year-over-year means comparing the same quarter across different years?

I'm going with C. Comparing Q2 2020 to Q2 2019 is the way to go. The question is clear about that.

But wouldn't comparing YTD 2020 and YTD 2019 give a better overall picture of the sales performance?

I was thinking B, but C makes more sense. Year-over-year means comparing the same time period in different years.

I agree with Chu. Q2 2020 and Q2 2019 would show the year-over-year sales trend.

Definitely C. Q2 2020 and Q2 2019 is the only option that compares the same quarter across two different years, which is what the question is asking for.
