Step-by-Step Solution

Shelter took 168000/840000 = 0.20, that is 20% of the fund, so the three heads together used 35 + 25 + 20 = 80%, leaving 100 - 80 = 20% unused. 40% is 100 - 60, which forgets the shelter spending entirely. 80% is the share used rather than the share left, and 45% drops the medicines head.
Answer: C) 20%
