Answer:

A. He uses math to show that there are at least 7,000 people similar to each student.

Step-by-step explanation:

David McCollough adressed the graduating class of 2012 of the Welleslley HighSchool with a speech that has remained relevant to this day, saying to them "You are not special", he starts by using math on only highschool grads to prove to them that they´re not special, but ultimately uses that same math to prove that it you are one in a million, there are 7,000 other people that are just like you.
