choice d
As an AI, I don't have access to the actual article or "graphic b" that you are referring to, therefore I can't provide a specific answer based on that graphic. However, generally speaking, if a graphic is questioned in terms of accuracy or if it is indicated that the numbers presented might be incorrect, the inference you could make would depend on the content of the text and the data shown.
If the text accompanying the graphic suggests that the data has been recently updated or if it points out limitations in the research, it could imply that the graphic's numbers might be outdated or incomplete. Similarly, if the text includes information that contradicts the graphic, an inference could be that there’s an error in one of the sources.
To make an accurate inference, one would typically evaluate:
- The source of the data and its credibility.
- Any apparent discrepancies between the graphic and the text.
- The date when the data was collected (to assess if there might be more recent data available).
- Any caveats or limitations explicitly stated in the article or by the authors.
In absence of the specific information, I can't provide "choice d" (or any other choice) for you. You would need to read the text associated with graphic b, assess the context and the credibility of the information provided to determine which statement is an accurate inference.
