Question: Suppose there are three plates of sliced radishes (labeled P, Q, and R from left to right in the photo) from the same batch of "Beauty Heart" radishes. These three plates of radishes have undergone the following three different treatments respectively: (1) Soaking in white vinegar, (2) Soaking in clear water, (3) Boiling in dark colored water.
What is the most likely combination of treatment methods corresponding to P, Q, and R?
A. P=(3), Q=(2), R=(1)
B. P=(1), Q=(2), R=(3)
C. P=(2), Q=(1), R=(3)
D. P=(3), Q=(1), R=(2)
Clues:
1. There are three white plates of sliced radishes on a speckled countertop.
2. The radish slices on the leftmost plate are a uniform, dark magenta color.
3. The radish slices on the middle plate have white rims and pink centers.
4. The radish slices on the rightmost plate are a uniform, bright, vibrant magenta color.
5. The slices in the middle plate appear to have the most natural coloration of a "Beauty Heart" radish.
6. The color of the slices on the right plate is more intense than the color of the slices on the middle plate.
7. The color of the slices on the left plate is darker and less vibrant than the slices on the right plate.
