Question

A study revealed that most orchards that used a new fertilizer harvested peaches with multiple pits. However, orchards that did not use the new fertilizer did not harvest any peaches with multiple pits.
The most reasonable conclusion that can be made from the study is that the new fertilizer ___________

1. is associated with the growth of peaches with multiple pits but does not cause it
2.is not related to the growth of peaches with multiple pits
3.causes the growth of peaches with multiple pits
4.prevents the growth of peaches with multiple pits

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is option 3

Step-by-step explanation:

In this study the cases are as follows:

Case 1: When fertilizer is added

Result obtained - Peaches are harvested with multiple pits

Case 2: When fertilizer is not added

Result obtained : None of the peaches are harvested with multiple pits

Thus option 3 is the correct answer
