Answer:

Among the options given on the question the correct answer is option B.

Between 2013 and 2015, the number of middle school students who used  multiple tobacco products decreased.

Explanation: In the excerpt it is shown that during the the time 2013 the number of the users of multiple tobacco products was 31.4 % in middle and high school students.

Whereas, in 2015 it came down to 3,3 percent for the middle school students and 13% for the high school students.So the statement from this  informational text is,"Between 2013 and 2015, the number of middle school students who used  multiple tobacco products decreased."

The other given options are not wright b because the number of multiple tobacco users in middle and high schools has not increased from 2013 to 2015. But it doesn't mean the use of multiple tobacco products was stopped.

On the other hand, the information in the text is about the number of the students , not about the number of the tobacco products.

Therefore, the answer of the question is option B.
