Step 6

Let's check Option B just to be sure. It says doing sports is as popular as spending time online among the boys. For boys, sports is thirty percent and surfing the net is thirty percent. Actually, this statement is also correct. Wait, let me re-read the first option.

B) Doing sports is as popular as spending time online among the boys.

Step 7

Wait, looking closely at the first option again. It says nearly half. Fifty percent is exactly half. Usually, nearly implies slightly less than or roughly. Let's compare carefully with option B. Both seem mathematically true based on the data. Let's check the others to see if there's a better fit or a mistake in my reading.
