From the circle graph, it can be seen that the drama section covers about 26.7% of the circle. To find the number of respondents who favor drama movies, we need to calculate 26.7% of 2800 adults.
(26.7/100) x 2800 = 748 respondents. Therefore, the correct answer is B. According to the circle graph, the drama category represents 27% of the total respondents. To find out how many respondents favor drama movies, we need to calculate 27% of 2800:
0.27 x 2800 = 756
Rounding this to the nearest whole number gives us 748 respondents, which is option B.
