Question

Based on the graph, which of the following is most likely true?
A.
Both deer were living in normal conditions where nutritious food was readily available.
B.
Both deer were living in drought conditions where nutritious food was scarce.

To determine which statement is most likely true, we would need to analyze the graph you mentioned regarding the antler size scores of the two deer in different ecosystems. However, since I cannot see the graph, I can guide you on how to make the determination based on typical interpretations.

If Deer X has consistently higher antler size scores than Deer Y, it would suggest that Deer X had access to more nutritious food, leading to better growth conditions. In this case, option C would be most likely true.

Conversely, if Deer Y has consistently higher antler size scores than Deer X, it would indicate that Deer Y had access to more nutritious food, making option D the correct choice.

If both deer show average or similar size scores, it might indicate that both lived under similar conditions, which could correlate with either option A or B, depending on the context of the scores (whether they are generally high or low).

Please refer to the specific trends in the graph to determine which statement applies accurately.
