Based on the graphic, 18 percent represents:

A
the increased risk of getting cancer over a lifetime if you eat 2 ounces of processed meat every other day

B
the increased risk of getting cancer over a lifetime if you eat 50 grams of processed meat every other day

C
the increased risk of getting cancer over a lifetime if you eat 2 ounces of processed meat a day

D
the increased risk of getting cancer over a lifetime if you eat 50 ounces of processed meat a day

B

the increased risk of getting cancer over a lifetime if you eat 50 grams of processed meat every other day

Based on the information provided, the graphic represents the increased risk of getting cancer over a lifetime if you eat 50 grams of processed meat every other day. Therefore, the answer is option B.

To determine the correct answer based on the graphic, we need to understand what the graphic is representing and how to interpret it.

The graphic is indicating the increased risk of getting cancer over a lifetime based on the amount of processed meat consumed. The units used in the graphic are ounces and grams.

Option A states that the increased risk is associated with eating 2 ounces of processed meat every other day. To compare this with the graphic, we need to understand the values represented.

Option B states that the increased risk is associated with eating 50 grams of processed meat every other day. Again, we need to compare this with the graphic.

Option C states that the increased risk is associated with eating 2 ounces of processed meat a day. This is different from option A, where the consumption is every other day. Again, we need to compare this with the graphic.

Option D states that the increased risk is associated with eating 50 ounces of processed meat a day. This is significantly higher than the other options, so we need to consider if such a high consumption is represented in the graphic.

Now, based on the graphic, we can determine the correct answer. Look for the corresponding bar or section of the graphic that matches one of the options. By visually comparing the values on the graphic, you can identify the option that represents the same amount of processed meat and the associated increased risk.

Once you have identified the corresponding value on the graphic, you can determine the correct answer.

Please consult the graphic and compare the options to find the one that matches the increased risk associated with a specific amount of processed meat consumed.
