complied

Hi all,
Can somebody please comments my sentence?

The studies showed that the number of Xs complied (adhered?) with regulation were decreased from the 1970s to 2000s.

Regards,
Fizzi

I know that some people say either "that" or "which" can be used there, but I would use "that" 100% of the time.

Yes, your sentence is just fine.
