Refer to the table. Similar to Tilman's studies of coexistence using diatoms, a research team is now examining competitive outcomes between two species of bacteria, A and B, which vary in how they use silica and phosphorus. The team manipulated both silica and phosphorus and examined whether bacteria A or bacteria B won the competition, or whether there was co-existence between the two species (denoted as outcome C) . The results are shown in the table. From these results, the team concludes that
A) A only outcompeted B at high phosphorus levels.
B) A always outcompeted B when silica and phosphorus levels were equal.
C) A always outcompeted B at low silica levels.
D) A always outcompeted B at low phosphorus levels.
