  • ACentre X
  • BCentre Y
  • CCentre Z
  • DCentres X and Z had the same highest rate

Step-by-Step Solution

Selection rate = (selected ÷ applied) × 100. Centre X: (60 ÷ 400) × 100 = 15 percent, Centre Y: (50 ÷ 250) × 100 = 20 percent, Centre Z: (42 ÷ 350) × 100 = 12 percent. Centre Y has the highest rate, although Centre X selected the largest number of people.
Answer: B) Centre Y
