Answer

This graph is called a bar graph. It is a visual way to represent data from a table or chart. Spring was described as a season with rising temperatures, so it would be warmer than fall and winter. Spring leads up to summer, so it would have lower temperatures than summer. Season 1 is spring because it meets all the criteria described, and when reviewing the graph, it would be the most reasonable response.
