Step 1
Identify the risk factor represented by P
Answer
To determine which risk factor corresponds to the letter P in the graph, one must analyze the proportions represented by each letter in relation to the total contribution of risk factors to road-traffic fatalities in NSW in 2001. Given the options provided:
- (A) Alcohol
- (B) Speed
- (C) Fatigue
- (D) Non-use of occupant restraint
By examining the graph closely, if it is clear that P corresponds to the second largest portion (under 30%), this is commonly associated with Speed, which suggests the answer is (B) Speed.
