Answer:

D. When you want to make many details available in an organized way.

Step-by-step explanation:

When is a table the most effective way to present information?

A. When graphs are more expensive to create.

Not a good answer. Graphs may be less expensive than a table, depending on the data provided, and especially with free online graphing utilities.

B. When you want to show how parts fit together.

Unclear as to how a table would make it easier to see how parts fit together. A table conveys information about categories, not how they fit together.

C. When you want to show the parts of a whole.

As with (B), tables are not ideal for showing parts of a whole.

D. When you want to make many details available in an organized way.

This is a good answer. When organized properly, tables can communicate major differences in data sets, such as Sales by year and region, or Joules energy per reaction.
