The combined percentage of Public Health, French, Business, Computer Science, and Economics is more than half of the total majors represented in the pie chart. Therefore, it can be concluded that more than half of the students at this university are majoring in these five majors. Option A is incorrect because there is no indication that the "Other" category is the most popular major. Option C is incorrect because it does not compare the number of students majoring in Education to French with other majors. Option D is incorrect because there is no comparison with other majors, and the size of the Mathematics/Statistics major does not necessarily indicate its popularity.
