Explanation

In a segmented bar graph, each grade’s bar should total 100%, with segments matching the row percentages. For ninth grade, the segments should end at 45%, 45% + 32% = 77%, and 100%. The same cumulative totals are 36%, 76%, 100% for tenth grade; 50%, 78%, 100% for eleventh grade; and 40%, 65%, 100% for twelfth grade. Choice D matches all these values and uses a 0–100% scale.
