A. 3.45%

The formula for a proportion is x/n, "n" is the total of objects and "x" is the number os successes. In this case "defective" is the success because you want to know the percentage for defective parts, so 4/116 = 0.0345 and you have to multiply the result by 100 and you get your answer in percentage.
