Based on which of the following tables could the chart above have been drawn?

Answer

To determine which table corresponds to the chart, we need to analyze the number of students owning different pets according to the chart. From the chart, we can gather that: - There are 12 students who own dogs (the tallest bar). - There are 9 students who own cats (the second tallest bar). - There are only 3 students who own birds (the lowest bar). Next, we will compare this data with the options provided: **Option A:** - Dog: 12 - Cat: 9 - Bird: 3 This matches perfectly with the chart. **Option B:** - Dog: 12 - Cat: 6 - Bird: 3 This does not match because the number of students owning cats does not correspond. **Option C:** - Dog: 12 - Cat: 6 - Bird: 2 This also does not match due to incorrect numbers for cats and birds. **Option D:** - Dog: 12 - Cat: 5 - Bird: 3 Again, the cat number is incorrect. From the comparison, we find that only Option A matches the data presented in the chart correctly. Therefore, the chart could have been drawn based on Table A. **Answer: A**.
