Explanation:

The graph shows the number of deaths in the US mining industry decreasing from the 1910s to the 1970s. Fewer deaths indicate improved safety, so this claim is supported. The graph does not include data on miners' wages, so claims about wages are unsupported. A decline in deaths contradicts the claim of declining safety.

Answer:

B. The safety of the mining industry improved as the 1900s progressed.
