fo 6 7 17
fe 10 10 10

By the given data, some persons were in the experiment and each of them was given with three meals, Low Calorie, Moderate Calorie and High Calorie. They results for the meal they liked is as below:

Low Calorie Meal got likes = 6

Moderate Calorie Meal got likes = 7

High Calorie Meal got likes = 17

so,

Option B is also correct as Low Calorie meal got 6 likes while Moderate Calorie meal got 7 likes.
