From time $t=0$ to time $t=1$ a population increased by $a\%$, and from time $t=1$ to time $t=2$ the population increased by $b\%$. Additionally, from time $t=2$ to time $t=3$ the population increased by $c\%$. Calculate the total percentage increase from time $t=0$ to time $t=3$.
A) $a + b + c\%$  
B) $ab + ac + bc\%$  
C) $a + b + c + \frac{ab + bc + ac}{100} + \frac{abc}{10000}\%$  
D) $(a+b)(b+c)(c+a)\%$  
E) $a + b + c + \frac{ab}{100} + \frac{bc}{100} + \frac{ac}{100}\%$
