A claim states: students' preferences for snacks varied widely depending on the menu category being considered. A table shows 80% chose samosa, 75% chose vada, 12% chose plain rice, 70% chose kheer. Which option best illustrates the claim?

A80% of students chose samosa from the snack menu
B70% of students chose kheer as their favourite dessert
C75% chose vada, while 70% chose kheer, showing similar popularity
D80% chose samosa, but only 12% chose plain rice, a wide spread
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. 80% chose samosa, but only 12% chose plain rice, a wide spread
The claim is about WIDE VARIATION. Option D contrasts samosa (80%) with rice (12%), the widest spread in the table. The others cite single categories or pairs with similar values, not 'wide variation'.
