Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
From the pie chart, we can see that the Building/Construction and Architecture category takes up approximately 6% of the chart. To find out how many students that represents, we can multiply the total number of students (1100) by 0.06:
1100 x 0.06 = 66
Therefore, the closest answer choice is C, which is 65.
1100 x 0.06 = 66
Therefore, the closest answer choice is C, which is 65.
