Answer:
The atomic model is our understanding of how the atom is structured. At one point in history, people believed that any substance was simply made of that substance and would retain that property no matter how small a quantity it was reduced to. Later, some argued that all matter was made of tiny particles called atoms. While this is correct, later researchers found that even the atoms were made of smaller particles called electron, protons, and neutrons. More recently, scientists have discovered quarks, tiny particles that makeup protons and neutrons.
Physical- Shiny and silvery describes the physical characteristics of something.
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" .
