To find the correct option, we need to find, first, the rate of the population that chose each type of music. Then, when we sum the rates of the types in the correct answer, it should result in 40%.

The rate of population for each type of music is given by the number of peaple that chose this type, divided by the total amount of people (55):

Country: 15/55

Jazz: 12/55

Opera: 10/55

Roch: 18/55

In the first option, we have:

Country and Opera
