In week 3, the transportation expense is around 60 and the groceries expense ranges from 60 to 145.

Explanation

In a stacked bar graph, the transportation section should reach $50, $55, and $60 for Weeks 1–3. The groceries section is stacked above it, so the bar tops should be $50 + $80 = $130, $55 + $90 = $145, and $60 + $85 = $145. Choice D shows those section boundaries and totals.
