The correct stemplot is represented by choice A: 3 | 0 0 2 2, 4 | 3 3 6 8 9, 5| 1 5 6 7.

To create a stem-and-leaf plot, we need to separate each data point into a stem and a leaf.

The stem is the leftmost digit(s), and the leaf is the rightmost digit.

Based on the given data (46, 65, 55, 43, 51, 48, 57, 30, 43, 49, 32, 56), the stems are the tens digits, and the leaves are the units digits.

Let's organize the data into a stem-and-leaf plot:

Stem (Tens) Leaves (Units)

3 0 0 2 2

4 3 3 6 8 9

5 1 5 6 7

Now, let's check the provided choices:

A. 3 0 2 4 3 6 8 9 4 1 3 5 6 7 6 5

This choice correctly represents the stems and leaves from the data.

B. 3 0 2 4 3 3 6 8 9 5 1 5 6 7 6 5

This choice incorrectly represents the stems and leaves, particularly in the 3rd and 4th stems.
