Question
Which choice best describes data in the graph that support Benz and colleagues' conclusion? Choose 1 answer: A Under both temperature conditions, less than 10% of sites were in the up-to -25% group, but at the maximum plausible surface temperature, almost 80% of sites could have all their local heating needs met by thermal pollution. B At current surface temperatures, more than 80% of the sites have no need for supplemental local home heating from subsurface thermal pollution, but at the maximum plausible surface temperature, more than 70% of sites exhibit significantly greater home heating needs. C At current surface temperatures, more than 80% of sites can meet, at most, 25% of local home heating needs with subsurface thermal pollution, but at the maximum plausible surface temperature, more than 80% of sites can meet greater than 25% of local home heating needs. D At current surface temperatures, more than 80% of the sites cannot use subsurface thermal pollution to meet any portion of local home heating needs but at the maximum plausible surface temnerature that nercentage drons helow 20%

Answer
C At current surface temperatures, more than \( 80 \% \) of sites can meet, at most, \( 25 \% \) of local home heating needs with subsurface thermal pollution, but at the maximum plausible surface temperature, more than \( 80 \% \) of sites can meet greater than \( 25 \% \) of local home heating needs.
