Numbers of the 23 Non-native Tree Species Reported and the Insect and Fungus Threats to Them

Country	Trees	Fungi	Insects
Bulgaria	9	14	16
Great Britain	18	290	120
Slovakia	15	28	53

Elisabeth Pötzelsberger and colleagues gathered data on 23 non-native tree species grown in Europe. They analyzed reports from Slovakia, Great Britain, and Bulgaria about the number of these species grown in those countries as well as the numbers of insect and fungus species that damage those trees. The researchers concluded that only one of the three countries had a greater number of damaging fungus species than damaging insect species.

Which choice best describes data from the table that support Pötzelsberger and colleagues’ conclusion?

Great Britain reported 290 damaging fungus species and 120 damaging insect species, while both Slovakia and Bulgaria reported a greater number of damaging insect species than fungus species.

Bulgaria reported 16 damaging insect species but only 14 damaging fungus species.

Slovakia and Bulgaria both reported fewer damaging fungus species than damaging insect species, whereas Great Britain reported 120 fungus species and only 18 insect species.

Great Britain reported 290 damaging fungus species, which is more than either Slovakia or Bulgaria reported.
