Context: People can use the engineering-design process to develop solutions to problems. One step in the process is testing if a potential solution meets the requirements of the design.
The passage below describes how the engineering-design process was used to test a solution to a problem. Read the passage. Then answer the question below.

Steve was . At the plant, an expensive filter was used to remove disease-causing bacteria from the water. But over time, the filter would become clogged with bacteria. If the filter became clogged, the water would not move through quickly enough. Steve had to decide when the filter was too clogged and needed to be replaced. So, during his inspection, Steve checked the filter by measuring how quickly water moved through it.
Figure: an engineer at a water treatment plant.
Which of the following could Steve's test show?
A. the amount of bacteria in the water before it was filtered
B. whether an inexpensive filter would become clogged more often
C. whether the filter was clogged
Pick the correct answer from the listed options and provide the letter of the selected option.
