Respuesta :

The answer is d, which is yours. A plant grows in millimeters and it does not grow in a minute. Good job 

Answer: millimeters per week


Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Conna wants to track the rate of growth of a seedling.

From the given options millimeters per minute is not the appropriate unit for describing the rate of growth of a seedling because seedling will not grow few millimeters in a minute.

Also grams per second is not the appropriate unit for describing the rate of growth of a seedling because 'grams' unit is used to describe the weight not length.

Also miles per hour is not the appropriate unit for describing the rate of growth of a seedling because 'miles' unit is used to describe the distance traveled.

Thus, millimeters per week is the only option which is appropriate for describing the rate in this context.
