Lionel computed the average rate of change in the depth of a pool over a two-week interval to be zero. Which statement must be true?

Average rate of change is the change in depth divided by the length of the time interval. Since the interval lasted two weeks and the average rate was zero, the total change in depth was zero. Therefore, the pool had the same depth at the start and end of the interval, as stated in choice C.
