After reading the graph, the reader can responsibly conclude the following information:

Answer 2

The correct answer is A. Reading the graph, the reader can conclude that fewer new businesses were started in 2010 than in other years, as the amount of jobs created by new businesses during that year was far lower than the number of jobs created by new businesses in the previous years (almost a million less jobs created in 2010 respect to 2006).
