The table shows the height of a plant in centimetres on the first day of each month from July to October. In which month did the plant's height increase the most? Give your answer in this format. (Eg Jan)

Height (cm) |
| 1st Jul |
5.9 |
| 1st Aug |
13.8 |
| 1st Sep |
25.5 |
| 1st Oct |
33.3 |
Increase in plant's height in Jul
= 13.8 - 5.9
= 7.9 cm
Increase in plant's height in Aug
= 25.5 - 13.8
= 11.7 cm
Increase in plant's height in Sep
= 33.3 - 25.5
= 7.8 cm
