Explanation

Choice B is correct. It's given that the bar graph shows the number of each type of monkey in a sanctuary. The bar representing the number of mandrills has a height of 5 ; therefore, there are 5 mandrills in the sanctuary. The bar representing vervets has a height of 11 ; therefore, there are 11 vervets in the sanctuary. Therefore, there are 11-5, or 6 , more vervets in this sanctuary than mandrills.

Choice A is incorrect. This is the number of vervets in the sanctuary.

Choice C is incorrect. This is the number of mandrills in the sanctuary. 

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