Trend Analysis in Renewable Energy Production

Hard Synthesis Interpreting Data In Graphics

The following chart presents data on annual renewable energy production from various sources in megawatt-hours (MWh) over a five-year period from 2018 to 2022. The sources include solar, wind, hydro, and biomass. In 2022, solar energy production increased by 40% from the previous year, wind energy remained stable, hydro energy production showed a 10% decrease, and biomass production increased by 5% from 2021.

Based on this information, which statement most accurately represents the trend in renewable energy production from these sources over the specified years?

Solar energy production has consistently decreased over the last five years.

Wind energy production has shown fluctuations and was significantly more productive than solar energy in 2022.

Hydro energy production had a steady increase in output from 2018 to 2022 but declined in 2022.

Biomass energy production has seen gradual increases over the last five years.
