Solution

To solve this problem, we need to understand that the total percentage of gifted students in the school is 80%. Out of this, 48% are in the secondary section.

Therefore, to find the percentage of gifted students in the primary section, we subtract the percentage of gifted students in the secondary section from the total percentage of gifted students.

So, 80% (total gifted) - 48% (gifted in secondary) = 32%

Therefore, 32% of the students who are gifted study in the primary section.

So, the answer is (A) 32%.
