What is the physiological range of this species' salt tolerance?

Low salinity

Low to Mid salinity

Low to high salinity

High salinity

Well... Species A certainly grows faster at low salinity, but its tolerance is wider than that. Examine the top graph again.
YES! Species A is able to grow at low and mid-range salinity under experimental conditions, as shown in the top graph.
No. From the top graph, you can see that species A is able to grow at mid-range salinity levels, but not at high levels. Try again.
Hmmm... Try examining the top graph carefully again. Remember, Species A is the least salt tolerant. Try again.
