I believe it is convergent evolution
The correct answer is: [B]: "decreased" .

In a graph of "coal reserves in the United States" vs. "time" ;
→ the "time" is the "independent variable" that belongs on the "x-axis" .
→ The quantity or amount of "coal reserves in the United States" is the "dependent variable" that belongs on the "y-axis" .
If the graph "slopes downward" ; this would indicate a "decrease" in the amount/quantity of "coal reserves" over "time" .
→ As the value of "x" increases — "time" increases — and; as "x" increases, the value of "y" {the amount/quantity of "coal reserves"} decreases.
→ This would be represented by a "downward sloping" graph;
→ and, among the answer choices given, could indicate that coal production:

→ "decreased" ;

→ which is: Answer choice: [B]: "decreased" .

Answer:
1. polarity
2. hydrogen bonding
3. High heat capacity
4. Adhesion
5. polarity
6. surface tension
7. high heat vaporization
8. hydrogen bonds form a rigid and stable network
9. Water is a polar substance and fat is a nonpolar substance.
10. Cohesion
Explanation:
Water is a polar molecule that is held together by hydrogen bonds to form strong cohesive forces. This accounts for the surface tension in water. Surface tension is the force acting on water that it makes to behave like a stretched elastic skin.
The polarity of water accounts for the fact that it is found in several parts of the body where it largely plays the role of a polar solvent.
High heat capacity of water enables it to function well in the area of thermoregulation in the body. High heat vaporization accounts for the fact that water helps maintain extreme temperature changes in an area.
When in solid state, the hydrogen bonded network in water becomes rigid and forms a very stable network of water molecules. Being polar, water does not interact with fat because like dissolves like.
In plants, the attachment of water to plant roots is known as adhesion and is necessary for the capillary movement of nutrients to plants via the root.
