According to the table, 33 students are White Non-Hispanic, which is approximately 11% of the total number of students. To estimate the number of White Non-Hispanic students, we can find 11% of 291 using multiplication.

11% of 291 = 0.11 x 291 ≈ 32.01 ≈ 32 (rounded to the nearest whole number)

Therefore, the best choice is D) 96, which is closest to the estimated number of White Non-Hispanic students. According to the table, 33 students are White Non-Hispanic, which is about 11% of the total number of students. To estimate, we can take 11% of 291:
