An allergy has been described as a non-protective immune response. Which statement provides information supporting this description? a.

Allergy sufferers' symptoms fluctuate with pollen levels. Pollen levels are often reported to the public on a scale of $0-12,$ which is meant to reflect the levels of pollen in the air. For example, a pollen level between 4.9 and 7.2 indicates that pollen levels will likely cause symptoms for many individuals allergic to the predominant pollen of the season (Source: hitpi//www.pollen.com). The pollen levels at a single location were measured and averaged for each month. Over a period of 6 months, the levels fluctuated according to the model $$p(t)=5.5+1.5 \sin \left(\frac{\pi}{6} t\right) \quad 0 \leq t \leq 6$$ where $t$ is measured in months and $p(t)$ is the pollen level. In which month(s) was the monthly average pollen level $7.0 ?$
