A vertically oriented rod may freely rotate around a horizontal axle through its center. A student applies a force on one end of the rod so that the rod rotates around the ads. The student collects the necessary data to generate the graph that is shown. After observing the data, the student makes the following statement "For the time interval shown, the magnitude of the net torque exerted on the rod decreases over time." Do the data support the student's statement? Justify your selection, A Yes, because the angular momentum decreases to zero. ) Yes, because the slope of the best fit line remains constant C) No, because the angular momentum decreases to zero (D) No, because the slope of the best fit line remains constant
