Shown below is a table of Sean’s results. | Plants receiving | Average Initial Height (in cm) | Average Final Height (in cm) | |------------------|-------------------------------|------------------------------| | Seawater | 12.1 | 12.9 | | Fresh water | 12.4 | 14.7 | Based on these results, which of the following could Sean conclude?
Spider plants grow better with fresh water than salt water.
