As of 2013, which statement about the IOC's gender representation is NOT correct?

• A. Women make up 10% of decision-making boards.
• B. Women make up 35% of decision-making boards.
• C. Women hold all decision-making boards.
• D. Men hold the majority of boards.

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is understanding what the actual level of female representation looked like in leadership roles, and spotting when a stated figure doesn’t match that reality. In 2013, women did not hold about one-third of the decision-making boards. A claim that women make up 35% would overstate their presence on those boards, so that statement is not correct when you compare it to the documented distribution at that time. The other described scenarios—women being a smaller share, women not leading all boards, and men holding the majority—fit with the general pattern of representation then, which is why they align with the historical data.
