Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
The most appropriate display to represent this data is a stacked bar graph, where each bar represents the total percentage of people interested in each activity, and the different colors within each bar represent the percentage of people interested in each age group. Option I displays this information accurately and in a visually clear manner. Option II displays the data in a stacked bar graph, as well as a pie chart, which is unnecessary and can make it more challenging to compare the different activities. Option III shows a scatter plot, which is not appropriate for this type of data. Therefore, the best choice is A) I.
