20 - 24

over 65

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the bar chart

By observing the bar chart for US Gonorrhea Rate (2020), we need to consider both male and female rates for each age - group.

Step2: Compare the lengths of the combined bars (male + female)

For the age - group 15 - 19, the combined length (sum of male and female rate bars) is relatively short. For the age - group 20 - 24, when we consider the sum of the male (teal) and female (orange) bars, it is the longest among all the age - groups. For 25 - 29, the combined length is shorter than that of 20 - 24. For the age - group over 65, the combined length is the shortest.

Answer:

B. 20 - 24
