△ Identify issues with the given graphic. ○ Analyze option A ▷ Evaluate if the graphic's endpoint is unclear. ☼ Option A suggests a pictograph issue, but without the graphic, confirmation is difficult. ○ Analyze option B ▷ Assess clarity of the "Don't Know" category. ☼ Option B indicates a labeling issue, but the category is clearly labeled in the provided graphics. ○ Analyze option C ▷ Evaluate category size representation. ☼ Option C highlights unequal category sizes, a valid concern for data misrepresentation. ○ Analyze option D ▷ Consider appropriateness of graphic type. ☼ Option D suggests inappropriate graphic types for categorical data, making it likely incorrect. ✧ The problem with the graphic is that the categories are not the same size, which misrepresents the data (Option C).

△ Choose a non-misleading graphic for the data. ○ Evaluate bar chart options ▷ Compare bar chart representations. ☼ Both bar charts (A and B) correctly represent percentages but may mislead due to equal bar widths. ○ Evaluate pie chart option ▷ Assess pie chart suitability. ☼ The pie chart (C) effectively shows proportions without implying equal intervals, avoiding misrepresentation. ○ Evaluate dot plot option ▷ Consider dot plot effectiveness. ☼ The dot plot (D) lists percentages but lacks visual representation of proportions. ✧ The correct graphic that is not misleading and makes the data stand out is the pie chart (C). ☺The correct answer is C.
