The center of gravity is the point where the sum of the products of the weights and the coordinates is equal to zero for both x and y directions. By looking at the given points, we can see that the majority of the points are located in the bottom left quadrant of the graph. Therefore, the center of gravity is likely to be closer to the bottom left corner. The only choice that meets this criteria is D, where x is less than or equal to 4 and y is greater than or equal to 4.5.
