I think it is B @Hero  I'm I right?

hero · Answer

Explain why you think B is correct.

anonymous · Answer

Well after thinking A makes more sense since in the Estimate it's 1/2 and before it was 3/5

hero · Answer

You should have explained why you thought B was correct. No matter which choice you pick you should be able to explain why you think it is correct. Otherwise, your choice could be interpreted as guessing.
