b) Mold grows well in the same ranges in which humans live.
According to the graph, the growth rate of mold increases as relative humidity increases, reaching a peak at around 80-90% relative humidity. This range of relative humidity corresponds to typical indoor conditions where humans live. Therefore, it can be inferred that mold grows well in the same ranges in which humans live.
Directions: The graph shows the growth rate of mold under various levels of relative humidity. Use the graph to answer any questions that follow.
Please note that - 25 °C = 77 °F
Which conclusion can be correctly inferred from the data?
a
Mold only flourishes in either hot and arid or wet and freezing conditions.
b
Mold grows well in the same ranges in which humans live.
c
Any increase in relative humidity causes a decrease in mold growth.
d
Any increase in temperature causes a decrease in mold growth.
