ONLY F is correct;

Here, we want to select the correct inference from the data presented

f) We want to comapre the number of English freshmen and the undecided

Both have a count of 50; we can see that these values are equal and thus, we conclude that these two are equal

This makes the inference correct

g) Here, we want to compare Education freshmen to science freshmen or others

From the question, the number of education freshmen is 60

The number of science or others is (30+25) = 55

The number for education is greater and not less

This makes this option or inference incorrect

h) Here, we want to comapre Business/Education and Science/Engineering

Business OR Education is = 45 + 60 = 105

Science OR Engineering is = 35 + 40 = 75

Business/Education is greater and this makes this option or inference wrong

j) Here, we want to compare Business and English

Business is 45

English is 50

We can see that English is greater and this makes the inference/option wrong
