I believe that your answer will be A, a boy is 19% more likely than a girl to own a dog than a cat or other animal

Answer:

A) A boy is 19% more likely than a girl to own a dog than a cat or other animal.

Step-by-step explanation:

A boy is 19% more likely than a girl to own a dog rather a cat or other animal.

Boy with a dog:

27

(27 + 15 + 10)

=

27

52

= 0.519

Girl with dog:

18

(18 + 25 + 12)

=

18

55

= 0.327

then,

0.519 - 0.327 = 0.192 ≈ 19%
