When interpreting a graph showing how a trait affects survival rates, the most important factor is:

**b. the trend in survival rates over time**

Understanding the trend provides insights into how the trait impacts survival, whether positively or negatively, and helps to understand the overall relationship between the trait and survival rates. While the other options can provide useful context and details, the trend itself is crucial for interpreting the data effectively.
