Hard Data Representation Interpreting Experimental Data

A researcher conducted an experiment to measure the growth rate of a particular species of plant under different light conditions. The study involved three groups of plants: Group A was grown in full sunlight, Group B was grown in partial shade, and Group C was grown in complete darkness. After 4 weeks, the researcher recorded the height of the plants in each group. The following data was collected:

Group A: 35 cm, 39 cm, 40 cm, 42 cm, 38 cm

Group B: 28 cm, 30 cm, 29 cm, 32 cm, 31 cm

Group C: 10 cm, 12 cm, 11 cm, 9 cm, 10 cm

Based on the data collected, which of the following conclusions can be drawn about the effects of light conditions on plant growth?
