Why the answer is C, and why the others tempt you.
Weaning percentage = (Number of young weaned ÷ Number of young born) × 100 = (6 ÷ 8) × 100 = 75%. Option B is a common error where the formula is inverted (8 ÷ 6 × 100). Option A results from multiplying 6 × 8, and option D is a distractor with no valid basis.
