Answer:
<u>C</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Looking through the above count data by Louden County Wildlife Conservancy from 2009 to 2011 we notice the Eastern- Trailed Blue butterfly has a higher count, which implies that the Eastern-Tailed Blue butterfly is more common than the other butterflies.
Therefore, we could infer from the samples, that the Eastern-Tailed Blue butterfly is more common than others from the records of the past 3 three years.
