Chevrolet             11              13

Total                     46             56

A)

Probability of girls who prefer Dodge is: 18/56

So out of 100 girls the number of girls who prefer dodge is:18/56 ×100

Probability of boys who prefer Dodge is: 17/46

So out of 100 boys the number of boys who prefer dodge is:17/46 ×100

This means that the number of boys who prefer dodge are more than the number of girls who prefer dodge.

                        Hence, option: A is correct.
