To test the effects of a nitrogen fertilizer on cantaloupe production, researchers grew cantaloupe plants and harvested their fruit over three years. In each year, half the plants were grown using a nitrogen fertilizer, and the other half were grown using a control fertilizer that contained no nitrogen. The researchers concluded that the nitrogen fertilizer increases cantaloupe yield.
Which choice best describes data in the graph that supports the researchers' conclusion?
Difficulty: Medium
A:
In every year of the experiment, plants treated with the nitrogen fertilizer had a yield of at least 30 pounds per acre.
B:
In every year of the experiment, plants treated with the nitrogen fertilizer had a greater yield than did plants treated with the control fertilizer.
C:
The 2018 yield for plants treated with the control fertilizer was greater than was the 2019 yield for plants treated with the nitrogen fertilizer.
D:
The yield for plants treated with the nitrogen fertilizer increased from 2017 to 2018.
