A consumer-tech site benchmarked four laptops on identical workloads, recording battery life (hours) and weight (lbs): Laptop W, 6 hrs, 4.5 lbs; Laptop X, 9 hrs, 3.0 lbs; Laptop Y, 11 hrs, 2.6 lbs; Laptop Z, 14 hrs, 2.2 lbs. Reviewers argued that the lightest laptops in this sample also have the longest battery life—an unusual reversal of the typical "more battery means more weight" assumption. The strongest data support is ______
Which choice most logically completes the text using the data above?
- A
Laptop W's heaviest weight.
- B
Laptop Z's longest battery life of 14 hours.
- Ccheck_circle
the inverse pattern: as weight drops from 4.5 to 2.2 lbs across W to Z, battery life rises from 6 to 14 hours.
- D
the average weight across all four laptops.
Explanation
The "reversal" claim depends on inverse movement of weight and battery. Choice B captures this monotonic inverse pattern, the strongest support for the claimed reversal.
