The correct answer is D, Graph C. This is because Graph C accurately represents the amounts of each type of food given to the guinea pig in percentages of the total 80 grams. For example, the graph shows that 35% of the food was pellets, which is equivalent to 28 grams (35% of 80). Similarly, 20% of the food was hay (16 grams), 15% was carrots (12 grams), 10% was cucumber (8 grams), and 20% was lettuce (16 grams). The other graphs do not accurately represent the proportions of each type of food given to the guinea pig.
