Answer:

Impossible to know. Numbers provided on the statement are for June, though question is made for september. If, by any chance, question is not correctly stated, answer will be True

Explanation:

According to the problem, there were 214 births. Seven of those 214 births were via C-section. Then: 100%*(7/214)=3.3%

It does not matter which births were natural, or C sectioned, as they are considered in the same group.
