D is correct because pie chart here is talking about distribution of weight, like 3/10 of body weight consists of muscles, 1/5 bones weight, and 24% proteins weight, since we don't know the proportion of bones and muscles in our body it cannot be determined.

Here, it can be cleared if we differentiate between" portion of the body "and" portion of the body's weight", this questions talks about a portion of the body's weight.
