Explanation:

Step1: Identify earnings range

We need majors where $38,000 \leq \text{average yearly earnings} < 53,000$. Convert to thousands: $38 \leq \text{earnings (k)} < 53$.

Step2: Match majors to range

From the bar graph:

• Marketing (G): 38 (thousand)
• Journalism (F): 43 (thousand)
• Social Work (E): 51 (thousand)

These fall within the range. Nursing (D) has 53, which is not less than 53, so it is excluded.

Answer:

D. {Marketing, Journalism, Social Work}
