Which choice most effectively uses data from the table to complete the statement?

  1. A. visits rose each year, from 41,000 in 2021 to 58,000 in 2023.Correct
  2. B. visits fell between 2021 and 2023.
  3. C. visits peaked in 2022 and then declined.
  4. D. visits stayed the same across all three years.

Answer: A. visits rose each year, from 41,000 in 2021 to 58,000 in 2023.

The numbers climb every year: 41,000, then 49,000, then 58,000 — a rise each year.

Why the other answers are wrong

B. visits fell between 2021 and 2023.
The 2023 figure is the highest, not lower than 2021's.
C. visits peaked in 2022 and then declined.
2023 (58,000) exceeds 2022 (49,000), so there was no decline after 2022.
D. visits stayed the same across all three years.
The three values all differ.
