Explanation
The correct option is To analyze and interpret data for informed decisions. To analyze and interpret data for informed decisions is correct because it directly supports the approved learning objective to extract and interpret resource information from charts, graphs and tables. (WS 3.2; MS 2c, 4a). This belongs to the subtopic Using the Earth's resources and sustainable development within Using the Earth's resources and obtaining potable water, so the explanation must stay tied to that curriculum context.
