Would it be number 4?

I think it will be number 4;can you help me with my math please?

I would like to get another opinion

Will someone else please answer this question?

D for sure.

To determine which group has the best chance of bringing a class action lawsuit, we need to consider the criteria for a class action lawsuit. Class action lawsuits are typically brought when a large group of individuals have suffered similar harm or injury caused by the same party or entity. The key factors to consider are the similarity of the harm, the causation, and the presence of common legal issues.

Let's analyze each group mentioned:

A. Everyone who developed a severe sunburn on the same day in Miami, despite using one of the leading brands of sunblock.
While this group experienced similar harm (severe sunburns), it may be difficult to establish causation and common legal issues as the leading brands of sunblock can be produced by different companies with varying formulas and effectiveness. Additionally, the circumstances could vary widely.

B. Elderly patients who complain of back problems and who all live in nursing homes located in the Chicago area but are managed by different companies.
Although this group shares similar complaints (back problems), the fact that they are managed by different companies may make it challenging to establish common legal issues and causation. Each nursing home and management may have their own practices and policies that led to the back problems.

C. Television viewers who claim that being addicted to "reality T.V." shows has caused their spouses to divorce them.
This group shares the claim of addiction to reality TV shows leading to divorce, but determining causation and linking it to the TV shows could be challenging. Individual circumstances and personal choices of spouses may play a significant role in divorce, making it difficult to establish common legal issues.

D. Patients with the same degenerative muscular disease who all live in a town located near a factory that has been declared a hazardous waste site by the Environmental Protection Agency.
This group has potential for a strong case for a class action lawsuit. They share same degenerative muscular disease, which establishes similarity of harm. The presence of a hazardous waste site near their town declared by the Environmental Protection Agency suggests a potential link to the cause of their illnesses. Furthermore, common legal issues related to the factory's negligence or failure to prevent hazardous waste contamination could be established.

Based on these considerations, option D seems to be the most likely group to have the best chance of bringing a class action lawsuit.
