Well, according to this interesting circle graph, we can see that the category "20-29" represents 17.3% of all licensed drivers in the US in 2003. So, if there were approximately 196 million licensed drivers, the closest to the number of drivers in millions who were less than 30 years old would be 17.3% of 196 million. Now, if only my math skills were as good as my joking skills... *drumroll please* the answer is... B. 21.3 million!

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

To find the number of licensed drivers who were less than 30 years old, we need to determine the percentage of drivers in the age group "20-29" from the given circle graph.

Step 1: Calculate the percentage of drivers in the "20-29" age group.
The circle graph shows that the "20-29" age group accounts for 17.3% of the total distribution.

Step 2: Calculate the number of licensed drivers in the "20-29" age group.
To find the number of drivers in the "20-29" age group, we multiply the percentage by the total number of drivers:
0.173 * 196 million = 33.908 million.

So, the number of drivers in millions who were less than 30 years old is approximately 33.908 million.

Comparing this to the answer choices, the closest option is:

B. 21.3

Thus, B. 21.3 is the closest to the number of drivers in millions who were less than 30 years old.
