Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the data: Ford Motor has 372,900 and Sears Roebuck has 336,100. So Ford's segment should be larger than Sears'. Let's check the options:

• Option a: General Motors is a small segment, but Ford's segment vs Sears? Wait, let's list the companies: Ford, Sears, Wal - Mart, PepsiCo, General Motors. Ford (372,900) > Sears (336,100). So in the pie chart, Ford's slice should be bigger than Sears'.

• Option b: Let's see the labels. Sears, Ford, PepsiCo, General Motors, Wal - Mart. But does Ford's slice look bigger than Sears'?

• Option c: Labels: Sears, Ford, PepsiCo, General Motors, Wal - Mart. Wait, no, the order? Wait, the correct pie chart should have Ford's segment larger than Sears'. Let's check the options again.

Wait, the data for Ford is 372,900 and Sears is 336,100. So Ford's value is greater than Sears'. Now, looking at the options:

In option d: The segments are General Motors (small), Sears Roebuck, PepsiCo, Ford Motor, Wal - Mart. Wait, let's check the structure. Wait, maybe the key is the relative sizes. Ford (372,900) > Sears (336,100), so Ford's slice should be larger than Sears'. Let's check each option:

• Option a: General Motors is a small slice, PepsiCo, Ford, Wal - Mart, Sears. But Ford's slice vs Sears? Maybe not.

• Option b: Sears, Ford, PepsiCo, General Motors, Wal - Mart. Ford's slice is not larger than Sears'?

• Option c: Sears, Ford, PepsiCo, General Motors, Wal - Mart. No.

• Option d: General Motors (small), Sears, PepsiCo, Ford, Wal - Mart. Here, Ford's slice is larger than Sears' (since 372,900 > 336,100). So the correct option is d.

We compare the values of Ford Motor (372,900) and Sears Roebuck (336,100). Ford's value is greater, so its pie - chart segment should be larger than Sears'. By analyzing the segments in each option, we find that in option d, Ford's segment is larger than Sears', matching the data.

Answer:

d. General Motors, Sears Roebuck, PepsiCo, Ford Motor, Wal - Mart (the pie - chart with these labels where Ford's segment is larger than Sears')
