• Choice C

    The rectangle has vertices at (1,1)(-1, -1), (1,3)(-1, 3), (2,3)(2, 3), and (2,1)(2, -1).

    The total area of the rectangle is:

    width×height=3×4=12\text{width} \times \text{height} = 3 \times 4 = 12

    The portion in Quadrant IV is where x>0x > 0 and y<0y < 0. This region spans xx from 00 to 22 and yy from 1-1 to 00:

    Area in Q4=2×1=2\text{Area in Q4} = 2 \times 1 = 2

    The percentage of the rectangle in Quadrant IV:

    212=161623%\frac{2}{12} = \frac{1}{6} \approx 16\tfrac{2}{3}\%
