Official Solution:
Let's evaluate the change in the four categories given in the first drop-down.
• The percentage of current female smokers decreased from approximately 35% to 15%, which is more than twice. Since this option is not available in the second drop-down, we eliminate it.
• The percentage of former male smokers increased from approximately 20% to 25%, which is a 25% increase. Since this option is not available in the second drop-down, we eliminate it.
• The percentage of females who never smoked increased from approximately 100% - (35% + 8%) = 57% to 100% - (13% + 20%) = 67%, which is about a 20% increase. Since this option is not available in the second drop-down, we eliminate it.
• The percentage of males who never smoked increased from approximately 100% - (52% + 20%) = 28% to 100% - (18% + 25%) = 57%, which is approximately doubling. Since this option is available in the second drop-down, this is the correct answer.
Correct answer:
Dropdown 1: "males who never smoked"
Dropdown 2: "approximately doubled"

1. Looking at the question, we have to pick a certain demographic and associate its change with one of the answer choices. Let's consider the given demographics:
2. Current female smokers. Went from 35% to 15%. This doesn't match any of the answer choices.
3. Former male smokers. Went from 20% to 25%. This doesn't match any of the answer choices.
4. Females who never smoked. Went from 100% - 35% - 10% = 55% to 100% - 15% - 20% = 65%. This doesn't match any of the answer choices.
5. Males who never smoked. Went from 100% - 50% - 20% = 30% to 100% - 20% - 25% = 55%. This matches "approximately doubled" because \(\frac{55\%}{30\%} \approx 1.83\), which is close to 2.
6. Our answer will be: D1 - males who never smoked and D2 - approximately doubled.
2. Current female smokers. Went from 35% to 15%. This doesn't match any of the answer choices.
3. Former male smokers. Went from 20% to 25%. This doesn't match any of the answer choices.

5. Males who never smoked. Went from 100% - 50% - 20% = 30% to 100% - 20% - 25% = 55%. This matches "approximately doubled" because \(\frac{55\%}{30\%} \approx 1.83\), which is close to 2.
