B.

C.
40(frac{3}{4})% -
D.
53(frac{1}{3})%
Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation
This histogram is transferred into this frequency table
(begin{array}{c|c} Marks & 20 & 40 & 60 & 80 & 100 \ hline students & 9 & 7 & 6 & 6 & 2end{array})
Students who scored more than 40 = 6 + 6 + 2 = 14
i.e. (frac{14}{30}) x 100% = 46(frac{3}{4})%
