C)
D)
The percentage of 4th-grade students proficient in math decreases each
year.
There is no trend in the percentage of 4th-grade students proficient in math
from year to year.
The percentage of 4th-grade students proficient in math increased each year
from 2014 to 2019, and then decreased each year from 2019 to 2023.

Answer 1

C) There is no trend in the percentage of 4th-grade students proficient in math from year to year.

The plotted percentages neither increase nor decrease consistently; they rise and fall across the years. (Option D is also incorrect because it references years not shown on the graph and claims a steady increase then decrease.)
