C Correct answer
Explanation

Using the principle of inclusion-exclusion: People who do at least one activity = 65% + 40% - 25% = 80%. Therefore, people who do neither activity = 100% - 80% = 20%. The 25% who do both are counted twice in the sum 65% + 40%, so we subtract once to get the correct count.
