Correct answer: D

Step-by-Step Solution

To find which household size is the highest in number in rural areas, we need to examine the line graph representing the distribution of households.

  1. Understand the Graph:

    • The X-axis represents the Household Size.

    • The Y-axis represents the Percentage of households.

    • The red line with square markers represents Rural areas.

  2. Analyze the Rural (red) line:

    • We need to identify the peak (highest point) of the red line.

    • Looking at the X-axis:

      • At size 1, the percentage is roughly 7%.

      • At size 2, it rises to about 11%.

      • At size 3, it continues to rise to about 14%.

      • At size 4, the red line reaches its highest point (peak) at approximately 18%.

      • At size 5, it starts to decline to about 16%.

  3. Conclusion: Since the red line representing rural households reaches its maximum value at a household size of 4, this size represents the highest number of households.
