D) 56.8 million

Correct Answer: B) 40.4 million

40.4 million Americans reportedly fall into the category of Some College, No Degree (SDND) according to a recent study from the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center. The amount of people not returning to college after stopping has also risen by 8.4% in the past year, meaning that students who leave college are becoming less likely to return.
