B. 20

C. 23

D. 46

The answer is C. 23

Explanation:

In order to calculate this, we would need the following:

- Total number of people watching television in Houston households.

- Total number of people watch the show American Family in Houston households.

From the question above, we have:

- Number of households with televisions = 3,300,000

- Number of households watching the show = 759,000.

To calculate the rating, we have:

(759,000/3,300,000) X 100

0.23 X 100

= 23
