The high and low months should be selected based on the highest and lowest levels of janitorial services, which would be the busiest and slowest months for the factory. Based on the information given, it is not clear what factors affect janitorial services, so we cannot make an exact determination. However, April and May are consecutive months and are the most likely to represent the high and low points, making Option D the best choice.
