Answer with explanation:

We are asked to tell a potentially misleading characteristic of a bar graph.

We know that a bar graph is a chat that compares categories of data represented by bars or rectangles.

A bar graph can be misleading as one can set the vertical scale too big or too small.

When the baseline of graph is not 0, then two quantities with smaller difference would show a huge difference.
