Which choice most effectively uses data from the table to complete the statement?

Accepted Answer

Choice B is the best answer because it most effectively uses data from the table to complete the statement about video game availability. The text states that just a few games released in the past are available today and then indies that there is a period of years from which only 14.22 percent of the games released are available. The table shows that 14.22 percent of games are still available from the years 1995-1999. Choice A is incorrect because the years 2000-2004 are not represented in the table. Choice C is incorrect because the years 1970-1974 are not represented in the table. Choice D is incorrect because the years 1985-1989 correspond to a percentage of games still available of 15.38 percent, not 14.22 percent.
