问题 Kyle: The rate of highway fatalities per 100 million miles driven was about a third lower last year than ten years ago.

Lisa’s objection is based on

C、proposing an alternative way of interpreting the data presented .
D、pointing out that statistics can be misleading if selected to prove a point.
