Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the pie - chart

In the pie - chart, the blue (fatal) part is much larger than the red (non - fatal) part.

Step2: Estimate the proportion

Since the non - fatal part is a very small slice, and the fatal part is almost the whole pie. If we consider the whole as 10 parts (in terms of "in 10" for the options), the fatal (death) proportion is about 9 in 10.

Answer:

about 9 in 10
