As part of their research on cell reproduction, Ms. Kelly's biology class designed various experiments to determine the best conditions for budding, or asexual reproduction, in common yeast cells. The students added sucrose as a source of food for the yeast and each group added water of a different temperature to the yeast-sugar mix. They used a light microscope to observe and count the yeast cells. Based on the recorded data, what observation did the students make regarding the growth of yeast cells?

A) Once the temperature reached 50oC, the yeast died.
B) The size of individual yeast cells increased with an increase in temperature.
C) Increased temperature played no role in increasing the number of yeast cells.
D) The number of yeast cells increased as the temperature of the water increased.
