CorrectNot quiteAnswer A
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Add the two columns for each month.
April: . May: . June: .
June is the highest at 550.
Worth noting
April and May do tie at 500, so "April and May were equally high" is a true statement — but it is not the answer, because the question asks which month was highest and neither of them was.
