Do the local tide measurement data support or contradict the global satellite data?


A.The tide measurement data contradict the satellite data because the tide measurement data show that the local sea level trends at some locations are decreasing.

A.

The tide measurement data contradict the satellite data because the tide measurement data show that the local sea level trends at some locations are decreasing.


B.The tide measurement data support the satellite data because the number of places where local sea level trends are decreasing is so small that they can be ignored.

B.

The tide measurement data support the satellite data because the number of places where local sea level trends are decreasing is so small that they can be ignored.


C.The tide measurement data contradict the satellite data because the number of decreasing local sea level trends is greater than the number of increasing local sea level trends.

C.

The tide measurement data contradict the satellite data because the number of decreasing local sea level trends is greater than the number of increasing local sea level trends.


D.The tide measurement data support the satellite data because the tide measurement data show that the number of increasing local sea level trends is significantly greater than the number of decreasing local sea level trends.

D.

The tide measurement data support the satellite data because the tide measurement data show that the number of increasing local sea level trends is significantly greater than the number of decreasing local sea level trends.
