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

Country	Trees	Fungi	Insects
Belgium	4	13	11
Bulgaria	9	14	16
Great Britain	18	290	120

Elisabeth Pötzelsberger and colleagues gathered data on 23 non-native tree species grown in Europe. They analyzed reports from Great Britain, Bulgaria, and Belgium 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 Great Britain had a greater number of damaging fungus species than either of the other countries did.

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

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

Belgium reported 13 damaging fungus species but only 11 damaging insect species.

Great Britain reported 290 damaging fungus species, whereas Bulgaria reported 16 damaging insect species.

Bulgaria and Belgium reported 9 and 4 damaging fungus species, respectively, which is far fewer than Great Britain reported.
