Answer:

D. insufficient data

Explanation:

We need to know the number of assignments in each class before we can tell the probability of interest.

__

If we assume the same number of assignments in each class, then 25.1% of on-time assignments were in physics. We note this is not an answer choice, further confirming we have insufficient data.
