GinnyAnswer
To determine which fruit among apples, cherries, oranges, and watermelons would raise the level of sugar in blood by the least amount, we need to find the fruit with the least carbohydrates per serving.

Here is the information from the table for each of these fruits:

- Apples: 17 grams of carbohydrates
- Cherries: 19 grams of carbohydrates
- Oranges: 21 grams of carbohydrates
- Watermelons: 12 grams of carbohydrates

A fruit that raises the blood sugar level the least is the one with the smallest carbohydrate content. Comparing the values:

- Apples: 17 grams
- Cherries: 19 grams
- Oranges: 21 grams
- Watermelons: 12 grams

From the given data, we see that watermelons have the least amount of carbohydrates, which is 12 grams. Therefore, among apples, cherries, oranges, and watermelons, a serving of watermelons would raise the level of sugar in blood by the least amount.
