Final answer:
ICS has exceeded the national average of female faculty compared to other computer science departments and boasts a 35% undergraduate female student ratio.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks about the comparison of ICS (presumably referring to a specific department or program) with the national average of female faculty and undergraduate female student ratio in computer science departments. Based on the information provided, it is stated that the percentage of women in the IT field has been declining, and the number of women pursuing a computer science major in college has decreased. Therefore, it is unlikely that ICS has fallen behind the national average. To exceed the national average and boast a higher percentage of undergraduate female students, the answer would be A. exceeded; 35%.
