This question, along with Q26774, refers to data on vowel occurrences in “the book” which is not provided. By inferring the data that satisfies the options for both questions, we assume the counts of the five vowels are 1, 3, 3, 3, and 3 in increasing order of frequency. The question asks about “the three vowels which occur minimum number of times”. These are the vowels with counts 1, 3, and 3. Among these three vowels, the letter that occurs the maximum number of times is the one with count 3. The question asks for the percentage of occurrence of this letter (with count 3) among the total occurrences of these three minimum vowels. The total occurrences of the three minimum vowels is $1 + 3 + 3 = 7$. The percentage is calculated as: $\frac{\text{Maximum count among minimum three}}{\text{Sum of minimum three counts}} \times 100\% = \frac{3}{7} \times 100\%$.
