Explanation

To solve this question, we follow a two step calculation based on the data provided in the charts.

First, identify the total number of Japanese tourists. The chart for country distribution shows that Japanese tourists account for 20 percent of the total 1,00,000 tourists. Therefore, 20 percent of 1,00,000 equals 20,000 Japanese tourists.

Second, identify the age distribution for these Japanese tourists. The question asks for those below the age of 39. According to the age distribution chart, the age group under 30 accounts for 15 percent and the age group between 30 to 39 accounts for 5 percent. Combined, the percentage of tourists below 39 is 20 percent.

Finally, calculate 20 percent of the 20,000 Japanese tourists. This equals 4,000. Thus, 4,000 Japanese tourists below the age of 39 visited India. The correct option is D.
