Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The statement that the average Arab American is younger, better educated, and wealthier than the average American is accurate. This reflects findings from various studies and reports on the Arab American community, which tend to show that they are a highly educated and economically successful group. The other statements are incorrect: U.S. Census data does not specifically track religion, making it difficult to accurately estimate the number of Muslim Americans; the majority of Arab and Muslim Americans live in urban or suburban areas, not rural; and there are significant populations of both Muslim and Christian Arab Americans, but the statement that more are Muslims than Christians does not accurately reflect the diversity within the Arab American community.
