Answer:

D: bar graph with the title favorite sport and the x axis labeled sport and the y axis labeled number of students, with the first bar labeled baseball going to a value of 17, the second bar labeled basketball going to a value of 12, the third bar labeled tennis going to a value of 27, and the fourth bar labeled soccer going to a value of 44

Explanation:

Because the categories are unrelated to each other it would be unlikely that you would use a histogram in this situation. Histograms are often only used for change or continuous data about a particular group or sample.

D is correct becuase it makes use of a bar graph and the number of players per section are correctly allocated unlike answer choice C which switches some sports and the number of players they should have.
