\end{tabular}

B. Rhino
C. Elephant
D. Tiger
E. Lion



Answer :

Let's analyze the given data for each animal in the table to determine which animal has more sales in month 2 than in month 1.

Here's the sales data:

1. Giraffe
- Month 1: 18
- Month 2: 15

2. Elephant
- Month 1: 16
- Month 2: 21

3. Tiger
- Month 1: 24
- Month 2: 22

4. Rhino
- Month 1: 15
- Month 2: 13

5. Lion
- Month 1: 18
- Month 2: 15

We need to find the animal that had more sales in month 2 compared to month 1. It is clear from the data:

- For Giraffe, sales decreased from 18 (Month 1) to 15 (Month 2).
- For Elephant, sales increased from 16 (Month 1) to 21 (Month 2).
- For Tiger, sales decreased from 24 (Month 1) to 22 (Month 2).
- For Rhino, sales decreased from 15 (Month 1) to 13 (Month 2).
- For Lion, sales decreased from 18 (Month 1) to 15 (Month 2).

Thus, the animal that had more sales in month 2 than in month 1 is the Elephant.

So, the correct answer to the question is:
B. Elephant.
