Answer: Option 'D' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Percentage of students are freshmen = 44%

Percentage of students are sophomores = 25%

Percentage of students are juniors = 16%

Percentage of students are seniors = 15%

Of the freshmen, 35% have not declared a major.

So, Percent of the freshmen who have not declared a major is given by

[tex]\dfrac{44}{100}\times \dfrac{35}{100}\times 100\\\\=\dfrac{1540}{100}\\\\=15.4\%\\\\\approx 15\%[/tex]

Hence, Option 'D' is correct.
