Relative risk reduction is calculated as (CER - EER) / CER, where CER is the control event rate and EER is the experimental event rate. Choice B is a misrepresentation of the formula but is the closest to the correct calculation method, indicating a subtraction and division by CER, which aligns with the concept of calculating the proportionate reduction in risk attributable to the intervention compared to a control.
