A city parks supervisor observes the following: In July, the sprinklers in Central Park were activated 15 times and the grass remained green. In August, the sprinklers were activated 20 times and the grass remained green. In September, due to heavy rainfall, the sprinklers were only activated 5 times, and patches of grass turned brown. Based on these observations, which of the following is the most logical inductive conclusion?
-
A
Activating the sprinklers at least 15 times per month is likely necessary to keep the park grass green during the summer.
-
B
The grass in Central Park will always be green if the sprinklers are used more than 10 times a month.
-
C
Heavy rainfall is the only cause of brown grass in city parks.
-
D
The sprinklers are the only source of water for the grass in Central Park.
