A journalist reporting on public libraries argues: "Fairview Public Library has adapted to changing technology by expanding digital lending while still maintaining strong print circulation." The table below shows annual circulation, in thousands of items, at Fairview Public Library from 2016 to 2024: Year Print circulation Digital circulation 2016 210 20 2018 205 45 2020 150 90 2022 195 140 2024 200 175 (All values are in thousands of items circulated per year.) Which choice most effectively uses data from the table to support the journalist's claim?
- In 2016, print circulation exceeded digital circulation by 190 thousand items.
- Digital circulation grew from 20,000 (2016) to 175,000 (2024), while print dipped to 150,000 in 2020 then rebounded to 200,000 by 2024, near 210,000 in 2016.
- Digital circulation rose from 45 thousand items in 2018 to 90 thousand items in 2020, demonstrating that the library successfully expanded digital lending.
- Print circulation increased steadily every year from 2016 to 2024, showing that digital lending had no effect on the library's print collection.
