teus are commonly measured in twenty - foot equivalent units (teus), a unit that indicates the volume of goods needed to fill a twenty - foot - long shipping container. from 2010 to 2013, most major exporters saw growth in teus, but international demand for one of singapores top exports decreased, which can help explain why _

Explanation:

By observing the bar - chart, the height of the bar representing Singapore's exports decreases from 2010 to 2013, while the bars for Brazil increase and the bar for Thailand decreases. Option A is incorrect as Singapore's exports decrease, not increase. Option B is too general. Option D only compares Singapore and Thailand in 2010 and doesn't cover the overall trend. Option C correctly summarizes the trends of exports from Singapore, Brazil and Thailand from 2010 to 2013.

Answer:

C. TEUs exported from Singapore and Brazil increased from 2010 to 2013 while TEUs exported from Thailand decreased.
