Refer to the figure.

- The figure is based on Johnson's experiment on the effects of trematode parasites on tadpoles. Which claim is supported by the figure?
A) As the number of parasites that the tadpoles were exposed to decreased, the percentage of surviving frogs with deformities increased.
B) As the number of parasites that the tadpoles were exposed to increased, the percentage of surviving tadpoles decreased.
C) If there were no parasites present, 100% of the tadpoles survived to metamorphosis.
D) Tadpoles with moderate levels of parasites had the lowest percent of deformities in adults.
