GIVING BRAINLIEST + 40 POINTS

Victor made the graph shown to record the observations of an experiment to study the effect of soil additives on the growth of plants. Three identical plants having a height of 25 cm were used for the experiment. The first plant had no soil additives, the second plant had wheat straw in the soil, and the third plant had polymer in the soil. All other growing conditions of the plants were kept constant.

A bar graph titled Plant Growth is shown. The y axis, labeled Height in centimeters, goes from 0 to 300. The x axis, labeled Month, goes from 1 to 3. Each week has 3 bars, No additive, Wheat straw, and Polymer. For Months 1 to 3, bars for No additive have heights of 75 centimeter, 100 cm, 175 cm, bars for Wheat straw have heights of 175, 185, 275, and bars for Polymer have heights of 50 centimeters.
