d) 20/35 of the boys preferred D.

Answer 1

(C) The ratio of boys who preferred C is equal to the ratio of girls who preferred C

Explanation:

A is incorrect because the ratio of girls to boys in the survey is 120/80 which is 60%

B is incorrect because the ratio of girls who prefrerred B to the ratio of boys is 10/25 not 10/35
