To find the percent increase, we first need to find the amount of increase.
The increase in Oliver's grade is 92 - 85 = <<92-85=7>>7.
To find the percent increase, we divide the amount of increase by the original grade and multiply by 100.
(7/85) * 100 = 0.082 * 100 = 8.2
Therefore, the percent increase of Oliver's grade is 8%.
The correct answer is D. 8%.

I apologize for the incorrect response. Let me recalculate.
To find the percent increase, we first need to find the amount of increase.
The increase in Oliver's grade is 92 - 85 = <<92-85=7>>7.
To find the percent increase, we divide the amount of increase by the original grade and multiply by 100.
(7/85) * 100 = 0.0823 * 100 = 8.23
Therefore, the percent increase of Oliver's grade is approximately 8.23%.
The correct answer is D. 8%.
