An olive oil producer uses a particular technology. The table below summarizes the relationship between the daily inputs of labor (number of workers) and energy (kWh), and the resulting daily output of olive oil (liters).
| Workers | Energy (kWh) | Output (Liters) |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | 100 | 50 |
| 4 | 200 | 100 |
| 6 | 300 | 150 |
Based solely on the data provided in the table, what is the most valid conclusion about this production technology?
