What are the preferred growth conditions for Species B?
(A) pH 7, 40 mL, any time of day
(B) pH 10, 40 mL, 7:00 a.m.
(C) pH 7, 80 mL, any time of day
(D) pH 10, 80 mL, 12:00 p.m.

An experiment was performed to assess the growth of two species of plants when they were grown in different pHs, given different volumes of water, and watered at different times of day over 6 weeks. Two plants were grown of each species and the average heights (in cm) are shown in the table.
