On the assumption that the trends in the graph would continue, someone seeking to sell this commodity at the highest possible price would likely try to sell the commodity in Region ____, in either ____
­
We need the region and the months of the highest possible price.
The Y axis of the graph depict the price of the commodity. The price is highest for Black lines which show the pricing for region C (we can see that in the key)
On the black lines, the pricing is highest in the months of October and November. Those points reflect the maximum prices.

ANSWER: Region C, October or November

why not B? (the graph for B is also stable/highest during oct/nov and higher than other months.)

­A, B and C are regions in which this commodity is sold. If for one unit of this commodity you are going to get $26 in region C in Nov, why will you sell it in region B where you will only get about $23 in Oct-Nov for it? Even if Oct Nov are highest price months in region B, prices available in region C in Nov are still much higher.

Ans is Region C in Oct-Nov Range
for the doubt of years not mentioned.. In any case, regardless of the Years, Region C almost always had the highest prices per unit for the commodity and if you had to choose specific month/months, regardless of the years, Ans becomes more clear that anyone would only go for Oct-Nov with Region C.

KarishmaB, Bunuel, Sajjad1994, If the question states, on the assumption that the trends in the graph would continue continue, do we extrapolate that the same graph is repeated or we continue to plot the trend after Dec?

For reference, question here: https://gmatclub.com/forum/the-graph-sh ... 23631.html has: "Under the assumption that the curves shown continue in the same general shape beyond the plotted area" , where we continue the graph

We are given an annual trend here - reduction in March April and increase in Oct-Nov. The trend will continue here means every year, it will be this trend only.


In this https://gmatclub.com/forum/the-graph-sh ... 23631.html
"Under the assumption that the curves shown continue in the same general shape beyond the plotted area"
The graph follows a downward or an upward trend. The same trend continues means the same shape is maintained.
