Although the answer choices are not complete, we may evaluate the probability of each event.

Total silver medals = 99
Great Britain's silver medals = 17
A should be 17/99

Total Russian medals = 82
Russian bronze medals = 32
B should be 32/82 = 16/41

Total gold medals = 137
Chinese gold medals = 38
C should be 38/137

Total US medals = 104
US silver medals = 29
D should be 29/104

The probability that Great Britain got a silver medal is 17%.

The probability that Russia won a bronze medal is 39%.

The probability that a gold medal was awarded to China is 28%.

The probability that the United States won a silver medal is 28%.

What is the probability?

Probability determines the likelihood that an event would happen. The probability the event occurs is 1 and the probability that the event does not occur is 0.

The probability that a silver medal was awarded to Great Britain  = silver medals awards to Great britan / total number of silve medals

17 / 99 = 17%

The probability that a medal won by Russia was a bronze medal = total number of bronze medals won by Russia / total number of medals won by Russia

32/ 82 = 39%

The probability that a gold medal was awarded to China = total number of gold won by China / total number of gold medals

38 / 137 = 28%

29/104 = 28%
