Explanation:To determine which profession is expected to lose the highest percentage of jobs, we would need to focus on the **"Percent Change"** column in the table. This column shows the percentage change in employment for each profession from 2019 to 2029.

You should compare the percentage changes for each of the following professions:

- **A. Postal service mail carriers**

- **B. Data entry keyers**

- **C. Sewing machine operators**

- **D. Postal service clerks**

The profession with the **most negative percent change** (or the largest decrease in percentage) will be the one that is expected to lose the highest percentage of jobs.

Without seeing the actual data, I cannot definitively tell you the answer, but generally, **data entry keyers** and **postal service clerks** have faced declining job markets due to automation and digitization trends.
