A local bakery owner claims that switching to a new flour supplier improved the taste of their bread. Which finding would most directly support this claim?
Answer and explanation
Answer: B: In a blind taste test, customers rated bread made with the new flour higher than bread made with the old flour.
The claim is specifically about taste improvement, and a blind taste test directly measures taste preference without other factors influencing the result. B is the only choice that provides direct evidence about taste. A, C, and D are all true details that could exist regardless of whether the taste actually improved.
