An experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of a new weed killer to prevent weed growth in onion crops. Two chemicals were used: the standard weed killer (C) and the new chemical (W). Both chemicals were tested at high and low concentrations on a total of 50 test plots. The percent of weeds that grew in each plot was recorded. Here are some boxplots of the results. Which of the following is not a correct statement about the results of this experiment?

(a) At both high and low concentrations, the new chemical (W) gives better weed control than the standard weed killer (C).

(b) Fewer weeds grew at higher concentrations of both chemicals.

(c) The results for the standard weed killer are less variable than those for the new chemical.

(d) High and low concentrations of either chemical have approximately the same effects on weed growth.

(e) Some of the results for the low concentration of weed killer W show fewer weeds growing than some of the results for the high concentrate
