Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the proportion of girls

The proportion of girls is $\frac{193}{200}=0.965$. In general, if the probability of having a boy or a girl is assumed to be 0.5 in a random - birth situation, a proportion close to 1 indicates a high number of girls.

Answer:

C. The number of girls is significantly high.
