In the accompanying data​ table, the entries are for five different years and consist of the weights​ (metric tons) of lemons imported from another country and car crash fatality rates per​ 100,000 population. The data are based on data from a scientific publication.  

      Lemon Imports:    220     274     355     478    539   

Crash Fatality Rate:  16.7    14.8     15.2    14.7   15.8

 

Given that the data are matched and considering the units of the​ data, does it make sense to use the difference between each pair of​ values? Why or why​ not?

 

Choose the correct answer below.
 
A. ​No, it does not make sense to use the difference between each amount of lemon imports and car crash fatality rate in the same​ column,because the terms should be added.
 
B. ​Yes, it does make sense to use the difference between each amount of lemon imports and car crash fatality rate in the same​ column, because they are measurements obtained from the same year.
 
C.​ No, it does not make sense to use the difference between each amount of lemon  imports and car crash fatality rate in the same​ column,because lemon imports and car crash fatality rates use different units of measurement.
 
D. ​Yes, it does make sense to use the difference between each amount of lemon imports and car crash fatality rate in the same​ column, because car crashes are caused by lemon imports.
