Without the actual data from the survey, it is impossible to know the exact percentage of employees who spend the most time on Facebook and have a high stress level. However, the question asks for what percent, so we can estimate based on the answer choices. 
If we assume that spending the most time on Facebook means more than 2 hours a day, and we look at answer choice C (30.2%), that means that almost one-third of employees who spend more than 2 hours a day on Facebook have a high stress level. While this is a somewhat high percentage, it is also possible that there are other factors besides Facebook use that contribute to their stress level. Therefore, option C seems like the best choice given the information provided.
