If you put some water in a bucket and left it in your backyard, the water level would rise and fall over time with the weather. The table represents data collected from a bucket that was initially filled to the halfway mark with water. The water depth was measured on the last day of the month for 2 years. Although the water never completely dried up, it also never overflowed during this time. Answer the following question(s) based on the data. Month Water Level (cm) Month Water Level (cm) 1 30 13 38 2 24 14 39 3 20 15 37 4 24 16 48 5 26 17 48 6 29 18 49 7 35 19 55 8 28 20 45 9 31 21 47 10 34 22 50 11 38 23 55 12 37 24 51 Which statement most likely explains the general upward trend of the data over the 2-year time period?
