Answer:

(D) I think

Explanation:

Lets look at our answer choices; A.

The intervals are not comparable. The shorter bar spans more than 10 years. When it comes to a horizontal axis it doesn't matter how far it expands,just if it's expanded correctly.

B.The intervals are appropriately labeled. There not it goes from 25 to 50 in just in instant few climbs up.

C.The intervals are not comparable, but the data on the graph is not misleading. It is misleading the graphs are incorrectly labeled.

Which brings us to our answer D.The vertical axis does not have an appropriate scale. it goes from 0-25 25-50 and 50-75 then 75-100. that's a short distance for such numbers that are pretty far apart.

I hope I'm right and I hope this helps:)!
