To accurately answer the question based on the graph, let's analyze the provided statements:
a. **By volume, humans are 65% oxygen gas.** - This statement is incorrect; while oxygen is a major component of the human body, it is not accurate to say that by **volume** humans are 65% oxygen.
b. **Humans are composed primarily of water.** - This statement is generally true. Approximately 60% of the human body is water, which is a significant majority of its composition.
c. **By mass, humans are 2% calcium.** - This statement is also reasonably accurate, as calcium does make up a small percentage of body mass.
d. **Elements making up the human body are mostly potassium and carbon.** - This is misleading; while potassium and carbon are important elements in the body, they do not constitute the majority compared to elements like oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen.
Considering these evaluations, the best response based on typical data about human composition is:
**b. Humans are composed primarily of water.**
This statement aligns with widely accepted scientific knowledge.
