:00

Consider the following table of hobbies of SMA Cipta Karya students:

Hobby Type	Grade X	Grade XI	Grade XII
Basketball	$100$	$150$	$120$
Dance	$75$	$78$	$80$
Painting	$68$	$54$	$44$
Singing	$57$	$46$	$44$
Acting	$40$	$7$	$18$

Which statement is most appropriate based on the contents of the table above?

Interest in basketball is increasing every year

Dance has the best prospects because interest in it is always increasing

Painting has the best prospects because interest in it is always increasing

In every grade level, singing is the least popular hobby

Acting is the least popular among students because it always has the fewest participants at every level

Explanation

Let's verify the validity of each statement by comparing it directly against the table data:

Statement (Claim)	Data Fact Check	Status
Basketball interest always increases	Data: $100 \to 150 \to 120$ . There is a decrease in Grade XII.	Incorrect
Dance/Painting has best prospects	Painting decreases ( $68 \to 44$ ). Dance increases, but total numbers are far below Basketball.	Incorrect
Singing is the least popular	In all grades, Acting numbers are always lower than Singing.	Incorrect
Acting is the least popular	Acting numbers ( $40, 7, 18$ ) are the lowest in every grade column.	Correct

The data consistently shows that Acting occupies the bottom rank in the number of participants at every grade level, making it the statement most consistent with the table contents.
