3. Based on the graph below, which is true about how root growth is affected by auxin concentrations?

**Graph Explanation:**

The graph is titled "Effects of Hormone Concentration on Plant Growth" and depicts the growth response of stems and roots to varying concentrations of auxin, measured in particles per liter.

- The x-axis represents the "Increasing Auxin Concentration (particles/L)" on a logarithmic scale ranging from \(10^{-1}\) to \(10^{11}\).
- The y-axis indicates the growth effect, with "promotes" at the top and "inhibits" at the bottom.

Two curves are shown:

- The blue curve represents the growth response of "Roots."
- The red curve represents the growth response of "Stems."

**Curve Descriptions:**

- *Roots (Blue Curve):* 
  - At low auxin concentrations, root growth is promoted. 
  - As auxin concentration increases, root growth is inhibited, showing a downward trend.

- *Stems (Red Curve):* 
  - At low auxin concentrations, there is minimal stem growth. 
  - As auxin concentration increases, stem growth is greatly promoted, showing an upward curve.

**Options:**

A) Root growth slows down as auxin concentrations get higher

B) Roots are growing at their highest rate as auxin concentrations get higher

C) Root growth causes auxin concentrations to decrease
