Which statement best describes the relationship between the number of chirps and the air temperature?

Students in a biology class were asked to construct hypotheses about the relationship between air temperature and the number of times crickets chirp per minute. They listened to a tape of crickets chirping at six different temperatures. The students counted the number of chirps per minute and recorded their results, which are shown in the table below.

Which statement best describes the relationship between the number of chirps and the air temperature?
A . The crickets will not chirp at 0°
C . The crickets will not chirp when the temperature is above 81°
E . As the temperature decreases, the number of chirps increases.
F . As the temperature increases, the number of chirps increases.
G . There is no relationship between the number of chirps and the temperature.
