A table compares emissions per unit of product before and after updates at two plants. An analyst claims that the plants had the same absolute reduction, but Plant A had the greater proportional reduction. Which choice best evaluates the claim?
A
The claim is not supported because the final difference between the plants was 1.2 units, according to the values shown in the accompanying data display, within the conditions described for the data collection.
B
The claim is supported because Plant A ended with lower emissions per unit than Plant B, based on the quantitative evidence presented in the visual, using the relevant comparison shown in the data display.
C
The claim is supported because both plants reduced emissions by 1.2 units, but Plant A's reduction was 25% of its starting value and Plant B's was 20%.
D
The claim is not supported because Plant B started with higher emissions per unit than Plant A, within the conditions described for the data collection, as the visual evidence for this specific claim indicates.
