Explanation

Choice B is correct. It’s given that $4 percent sign$ of the $350$ objects in the box are balls.

Choice A is incorrect. This is the percentage of objects in the box that are balls, not the number of balls in the box.

Choice C is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.

Choice D is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.
