Which one of the following hypotheses about Tenebrio molitor growth is supported by the data presented in Table 1?

F. Larger larval T. molitor yield larger T. molitor beetles.
G. T. molitor larvae fed carrots will spend a greater amount of time in the larval stage than those larvae fed apples.
H. The more time a T. molitor spends in the pupal stage, the smaller the adult beetle will be.
J. Larger T. molitor beetles spend less time, on average, in the pupal stage of metamorphosis.
