Donita performed an experiment to study the effect of temperature on the cellular respiration of crickets. Since CO2 is a byproduct of cellular respiration, the higher the CO2 level, the higher the respiration rate. The table below shows
Donita's results.

What can be said about the effect of temperature on the cellular respiration of crickets?
A. As temperature rises, the rate of cellular respiration slows.
OB. As temperature rises, the rate of cellular respiration increases.
OC.
As temperature rises, the rate of cellular respiration is constant.
OD
As temperature rises, cellular respiration stops.
