1. The problem asks to identify the correct statement about the number of cruise passengers from July 2023 to September 2025 based on the bar chart. 2. Let's analyze each statement: - a. "The number of cruise passengers is the same throughout all months." This would mean the bars are all equal height, which is not true as the chart shows fluctuations. - b. "The busiest month for 2024 was June." We check the bar for June 2024 and compare it to other months in 2024. June 2024 has the tallest bar, indicating the highest number of passengers. - c. "The values in January are consistently the lowest point in each year shown." Checking January bars for 2024 and 2025, they are not the lowest; other months have lower values. - d. "More than 120,000 passengers were recorded for July 2024." The bar for July 2024 is below the 120,000 mark. 3. Therefore, the correct statement is b. Final answer: **b. The busiest month for 2024 was June.**
