The correct option is D 37
First, note that each small division on the Y- axis stands for 2 people.
Also, there are three bars before the month of October,
Jan - March: Height = 6×2 = 12 units
April - June: Height = 3.5×2 = 7 units
July - Sep: Height = 9×2 = 18 units
These values represent the number of people who have their birthday in the months of January to September.
∴ the total number of people who have their birthday before October
=12+7+18=37
