Analyze the visual evidence

The left photo shows a World War II military plane with propellers. The right photo shows a modern passenger jet with jet engines.

Evaluate option A

Air travel before World War II was not faster or safer than modern jet travel.

Evaluate option B

The photos do not provide evidence that most World War II planes carried passengers.

Evaluate option C

Modern passenger planes use jet engines rather than propellers, making this statement false.

Evaluate option D

Comparing a propeller-driven WWII plane to a modern jet shows that airplane technology improved significantly.
