19. How about adding C (both) and D (neither)?
Given the results of the polls you posted C would likely have highest (or high) support.

It is only a binary choice in your mind.

If 91% of people support solar and 52% support nuclear than at a minimum about half the people who support solar also support nuclear.

Assume that every single person who doesn't support nuclear supports solar (unlikely because many don't support either but this helps establish a minimum)

100%-52% = 48% do not support nuclear energy. If all of them support solar then 91%-48% = 43% who support solar also support nuclear. Once again this isn't the likely breakdown but rather the minimum. If more (any) people don't support either then the % who come from pro-nuclear camp is greater.

At a minimum slightly less than half of the people who support solar also support nuclear energy.
