To find the mean height of the plants given fertilizer, we need to follow these steps:

1. List the heights of the plants given fertilizer:
[tex]\[ 30.5\ \text{cm},\ 32.1\ \text{cm},\ 40.6\ \text{cm},\ 30.5\ \text{cm},\ 33.8\ \text{cm} \][/tex]

2. Sum the heights of the plants given fertilizer:
[tex]\[ 30.5 + 32.1 + 40.6 + 30.5 + 33.8 = 167.5\ \text{cm} \][/tex]

3. Count the number of plants given fertilizer:
[tex]\[ 5\ \text{plants} \][/tex]

4. Calculate the mean height by dividing the total height by the number of plants:
[tex]\[ \text{Mean height} = \frac{167.5\ \text{cm}}{5} = 33.5\ \text{cm} \][/tex]

So, the mean height of the plants given fertilizer is:
B. 33.5 cm
