The graph shows that sales increased between August and September, so option B is correct. It also shows that the last month (December) had higher sales than the first month (January), so option C is also correct. Option A is incorrect because the lowest sales were in January, not March. Option D is incorrect as sales increased slightly from June to July and remained the same from July to August. Option E is incorrect because sales in December were higher than sales in September, not the other way around.
