Answer:

It is in fact, the 0 to 4 with intervals of 0.2 Since all numbers in this set have decimals in them, a scale of 2 or 1 would not be specific enough. Also, a scale from 1 to 4 would not show 2 of the data points. Therefore, by showing all of the points with an appropriate scale, the last option is the best option.

Explanation:

Just took the test and got an 100%. Have a wonderful day!!!
