Answer:

Hence, the Female and not participated is [tex]\frac{28}{100}=0.28\%[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Total respondents [tex]=100[/tex]

Participated in online action [tex](P)=65[/tex]

Men [tex](m)=45[/tex]  and Women [tex](F)=100-45=55[/tex]

Male and participated [tex](M\; \text{and}\;P)=38[/tex]

Female and participated [tex](F\; \text{and}\;P)=65-38=27[/tex]

Male and not participated is [tex]45-38=7[/tex]

Female and not participated is [tex]55-27=28[/tex]

Therefore, the Female and not participated is [tex]\frac{28}{100}=0.28\%[/tex]

Hence, the correct option is [tex]D[/tex].
