Which newspaper has the highest distribution?

ANewspaper Z
BNewspaper W
CNewspaper Y ✓ Correct
DNewspaper X
Correct answer: (C) Newspaper Y
Explanation

The National Testing Agency dropped this item from evaluation, so no option is a settled key.

The question asks which newspaper has the highest total distribution.

The answer depends on the Newspaper Y City 1 value printed as 35000.

That figure is inconsistent with the small values for all the other newspapers.

With that anomaly Newspaper Y appears highest, but the value is not reliable.

So the comparison cannot be made soundly from the printed data.

For that reason the agency cancelled the question.
