Options A,C and E are correct

Here, from the table given in the question, we want to select the correct choice

We shall evaluate the validity of the given options

a) This is correct

Looking at the number of respondents at each point, we can see that the addition of all number of responses gives 84

b) This is incorrect

We check for this looking at the row for the students. On this row, we have 18 and 32 which adds up to 50 and not 43

c) This is correct

We simply look at the row for parents and check under the column of 'watch TV' ; This is where we get this number

d) This is incorrect

We already stated in C above that 9 parents love to watch TV

e) This is correct

To get this we compare numbers. The total number of people that likes to read a book is (18 + 25) which is 43. We can see that this number is greater than (84-43 = 41). This means that the information in the option is correct
