B Correct answer
Explanation

This claim is greatly exaggerated. While choking deaths do occur, 100 people per year on ballpoint pens is not supported by CDC or NSC injury statistics. Actual choking death data shows far lower numbers for pen-related incidents. The number appears fabricated or wildly exaggerated.
