Based on the information given in the passage, it is not possible to determine an exact percentage of proposed amendments that have been approved through initiative petitions. However, the passage does state that "only a small percentage" of proposed amendments through initiative petitions are actually approved, and later mentions that there have been "fewer than ten amendments" proposed and approved through this method since 1970. These statements suggest that the percentage of approved amendments is likely closer to 33% (or one third) rather than higher percentages such as 50%, 75%, or 100%. Therefore, the best choice is C) 33%.
