The color of a soybean plant's leaves is influenced by the amount of chlorophyll It produces. Chiorophyll is a natural green pigment in plant leaves. Scientists tested the frequency of leaf-color genotypes in a soybean population over time. The table below shows the three tested genotypes-and the leaf color each genotype produced The scientsts grew soybean plants and observed the leaf color of the seedlings produced at Day 7 and Day 21 The number of seedlings for each genotype is shown in the table below.

Which conclusion about chlorophyll is most strongly supported by the results of this study?

The genotype that produced the most chiorophyll was selected for.

The genotype that produced the least chlorophyll was selected against.

The two genotypes that produced the least chlorophyll were selected against.

The amount of chlorophyll produced by the plant did not affect selection.

The genotype that produced the most chlorophyll was selected for. This is supported by the fact that the genotype with the highest number of seedlings (greenyellow) had the highest frequency at both Day 7 and Day 21. This suggests that this genotype was more successful and had a competitive advantage, potentially due to its ability to produce more chlorophyll.
