16. If the data in Figures 2 and 3 are typical of fens and bogs in general, one would most likely make which of the following conclusions about the peat layer in a fen and in a bog?

Correct Answer is J
Explanation

Looking at figure 2, it can be found that the thickness of the peat in fen is approximately from 0 m to 3.1 m in depth, while the thickness of the peat in bog in figure 3 is approximately from 0 m to 3.1 m. The range is 3.7 m, so the peat in fen is thinner
