    d. We are 95% sure that between 52% and 68% of all adults in this city will root for North High School.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    A confidence interval of a proportion p% at the x% level with m% margin of error means that:

    We are x% sure that the true mean of the population is in the interval from (p-x) % to (p+x) %.

    So the correct answer is:

    d. We are 95% sure that between 52% and 68% of all adults in this city will root for North High School.
