Question

study the graph.
which inference can be made about the graph?
percentage of u.s. population age 2
and over that drink sugar drinks
a 33 - year - old male will consume fewer sugary drinks
than a 33 - year - old female.
males 20 and older will have a lower risk of
developing chronic diseases later in life than females.
males 2 to 19 are more likely to have chronic
diseases later in life than females 2 to 19.
a 15 - year - old female is less likely to make a poor
eating choice than a 45 - year - old female.

Explanation:

• Analyze each option:
• Option A: The graph does not provide data to compare 33 - year - old males and females.
• Option B: The graph is about sugar drink consumption, not chronic disease risk.
• Option C: Males 2 - 19 (70%) have a higher percentage of sugar drink consumption than females 2 - 19 (60%). Higher sugar drink consumption is associated with a higher risk of chronic diseases later in life.
• Option D: The graph does not provide data to compare 15 - year - old and 45 - year - old females.

Answer:

C. Males 2 to 19 are more likely to have chronic diseases later in life than females 2 to 19.
