The data presented in table below resulted from experiment in which seeds of 5 different types were planted and the number of seeds that germinated in 5 weeks after planting was recorded for each seed type. At the .01 level of significance, is the proportion of seeds that germinate dependent on the seed type?

A. Yes, because test value 16.86 is greater than the critical value of 13.28
B. Yes, because test value 16.86 is less than the critical value of 14.86
C. No, because test value 16.86 is greater than the critical value of 13.28
D. No, because test value 13.28 is less than the critical value of 16.86
