b) Supported, because the plant with fertilizer had more overall growth than the plant with no fertiliz
c) Refuted, because a control group was not used as a comparison to the experimental group.

If the fertilized plant grew 2 cm more than the plain soil, identify the relationship between amount of fertilizer and amount of plant growth.
a) positive
b) negative
c) none
d) both
