A researcher studying urban heat islands collected temperature data across five city zones over two decades. The table below shows mean summer temperatures (°C) in 2003 and 2023: | Zone | 2003 | 2023 | |------|------|------| | Industrial | 34.1 | 37.8 | | Commercial | 32.6 | 35.9 | | Residential-Dense | 31.4 | 33.2 | | Residential-Sparse | 29.8 | 30.6 | | Green Space | 27.3 | 27.9 | The researcher claims that 'zones with higher baseline temperatures in 2003 experienced disproportionately greater absolute warming by 2023.' Which choice best evaluates this claim using the data?
