To find the percentage of respondents who cite convenience as the primary reason for shopping online, we need to first find the total number of respondents.

Total number of respondents = 249 + 90 + 110 + 99 + 41 + 211 = 800

Now, we can find the percentage of respondents who cited convenience by dividing the number of male and female respondents who cited convenience by the total number of respondents and multiplying by 100.

Percentage of respondents who cite convenience = (249 + 90)/800 * 100 = 39.875

Rounding up, we get 42%, which is the closest option. Therefore, the answer is A) 42%.
