- C.There are likely to be persons with more than one disease in both Towns A and B.
- D.No inference can be drawn.
▶ Answer & Explanation
Correct answer: D. No inference can be drawn.
The provided graphs display the prevalence of specific diseases in Towns A and B. However, the data does not indicate any overlap or co-occurrence of diseases within individuals. Without information showing individuals suffering from multiple conditions simultaneously, any conclusion about persons having more than one disease would be speculative.
