A 2022 study tested four wind-turbine blade designs and recorded power output (kW) at 10 m/s and 20 m/s wind speeds: Blade I, 320 (10 m/s), 980 (20 m/s); II, 285, 1,520; III, 340, 950; IV, 290, 1,490. The team argued that for strong-wind sites, designs with the highest 10 m/s output are misleading. The strongest support is ______

Which choice most logically completes the text using the data above?

A
$the average output.$
B
$Blade I's 10 m/s output of 320.$
C
$Blade III's highest 10 m/s output of 340.$
D
$the rank reversal: Blade III leads at 10 m/s (340) but trails at 20 m/s (950); Blade II's lower 10 m/s (285) becomes the leader at 20 m/s (1,520).$

Explanation

"Highest 10 m/s output is misleading" requires showing rank reversal across wind speeds. Choice B captures this directly.
