C Correct answer
Explanation

A pie chart represents 100% as 360 degrees. 20% of 360 degrees = 0.20 * 360 = 72 degrees.

AI explanation

For a pie chart, the central angle is calculated using the formula (Percentage / 100) * 360 degrees. Since 20 percent of the students obtained first class, we calculate the angle as (20 / 100) * 360 = 72 degrees. The central angle corresponding to first class is 72 degrees.
