Question

total science research submissions by topic, 2016 - 2019. which choice most effectively uses data from the graph to support the underlined claim? a in 2016, the number of cellular and molecular biology topic submissions was the same as the number of animal science topic submissions. b in 2019, there were more physics and space science topic submissions than there were medicine and health topic submissions. c the lowest number of animal science topic submissions in a year was approximately 95 in 2016. d the highest number of medicine and health topic submissions during the period shown is approximately 285 in 2019.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze Option A

Check if number of cellular and molecular biology submissions equals animal science submissions in 2016 from graph. It doesn't.

Step2: Analyze Option B

Check 2019 data. From the graph, number of physics and space - science submissions is higher than medicine and health submissions.

Step3: Analyze Option C

Check animal science submissions in 2016. Lowest number is not approximately 95.

Step4: Analyze Option D

Check medicine and health submissions. Highest number is not in 2019.

Answer:

B. In 2019, there were more physics and space science topic submissions than there were medicine and health topic submissions.
