C Correct answer
Explanation

Total tea drinkers = 60 + 50 + 40 = 150. Total people = (50+60+50+80+50) + (40+50+60+51+52) + (60+40+30+50+30) = 290 + 253 + 210 = 753. Percentage = 150 / 753 = 0.1992 or 19.92%.

AI explanation

The total number of persons who like tea is 60 plus 50 plus 40, equaling 150. The total number of surveyed persons is 290 plus 253 plus 210, equaling 753. Using the percentage formula, 150 divided by 753 multiplied by 100 gives 19.92 percent.
