Answer 1

Without seeing the graphs (A, B, C, D), I can't directly identify which one represents the results of the experiment you described. However, I can guide you on what to look for in the graphs:

• You want to find a graph that shows the growth of both bean plants and corn plants after applying equal amounts of fertilizer.
• The growth of bean plants should be represented as higher than that of corn plants, indicating that they benefited more from the fertilizer.
• The graph should have clear labels for the x-axis (likely indicating the type of plant) and the y-axis (indicating the growth measurement).

If one of the graphs displays two bars (or lines) where the bar or point representing bean plants is higher than that of corn plants, that would be the best representation of your results. Please review the graphs with this guidance in mind to choose the correct one.
