Which statement is consistent with the data?

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Cannot be determined
• D. Only for AS

Answer: (A)

When a statement is described as consistent with the data, it means the observations support that claim and there are no data points that contradict it. If every measured result fits with the statement and nothing in the dataset argues against it, that statement is the one that matches what the data show. Here, the data align with the statement and there is no conflicting evidence, so it is the best choice. The other options would be appropriate only if the data either contradicted the statement (making it false), were incomplete or ambiguous (making it cannot be determined), or applied only to a specific subgroup such as AS (which the data do not indicate).
