The idea here is understanding how bird strikes are distributed among different parts of an aircraft. Propeller and radome being the least struck means they have the smallest share in the data, about 4% of incidents for each part. That small percentage fits the notion that birds tend to hit parts that are larger targets or more exposed to typical flight paths—like engines and windshields—more often than the propeller blades or the nose cone. Since 4% is the smallest option, it correctly represents the least-hit components. The other percentages would imply a larger share, which wouldn’t align with those parts being least affected.
