Answer:

<h2>D. Each additional pound adds about one hour of cooking time.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The last statement is not supported by the scatter plot, because the ratio shown is not 1:1, that is, per one hour cooking time one more pound, that is not true.

We can take the first two points as a counterexample that demonstrate this. The first point is (11;4), that is, a 11 pounds beef takes 4 hours to be cooked, then the second point is (12;4.5), that is, a 12 pounds beef takes 4.5 hours to be cooked, just increase half an hour, therefore, the last option is not support by the data showed in the scatter plot.
