Answer explanation

Choice D is correct. The height of each bar in the graph shown represents the number of volunteers who chose the gift labeled with the letter specified at the bottom of the bar. The bar for gift C has a height of 18 . Therefore, 18 volunteers chose gift C.

Choice A is incorrect. This is the number of volunteers who chose gift D, not gift C.

Choice B is incorrect. This is the number of volunteers who chose gift B, not gift C.

Choice C is incorrect. This is the number of volunteers who chose gift A, not gift C.
