Study Figure 1, a graph showing average monthly Arctic sea ice extent in September between 1980 and 2020.
Using Figure 1, which one of the following statements is true?
The sea ice extent in 1980 and 2000 is the same.
The sea ice reached it smallest extent in 2012.
The sea ice decreased every year between 1980 and 1996.
The sea ice increased from 2000 to 2020.
