Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Can't be A - 6% more voters vote democrat in the 30-44 age range

Can't be B - No evidence pointing towards this

Can't be C - As the age range decreases, more and more voters from those ranges vote democratic and no evidence points towards an even split of votes between both parties

D - From 18-44, the vote majority is democratic and votes for the republican party begin to increase as the ages increase
