C The number of visitors who prefer camping will be 15 times the number of visitors who prefer hiking trails. D The number of visitors who prefer camping will be 2 times the number of visitors who prefer water sports.​

Answer 1

D is correct.

Explanation:

In this survey of 80 people, 28 prefer camping, and 14 prefer water sports.

80 × 2.5 = 200, so for the next 200 people, we expect 70 people to prefer camping, and 35 people to prefer water sports. So D is the correct prediction.
