Which conclusion is supported by this graph?

B)  Wagtails get more calories per second of handling time with larger flies than with smaller ones. C)  Wagtails get more calories per second of handling time with smaller flies than with larger ones. D)  Wagtails get more calories per second of handling time with 7-mm flies than with either larger or smaller ones.
