Explanation:

In boating safety context, paddlers in small boats (canoes, rafts) have a higher drowning likelihood compared to other boaters. Option A is incorrect as drownings do occur. Option B contradicts safety data. Option D (22 times) is an over - exaggeration not supported by typical safety statistics. So the most accurate among the options is that paddlers are more than twice as likely to drown.

Answer:

C. Paddlers are more than twice as likely to drown.
