A student makes this bar graph to show her math scores

Explain how this graph might distort the data.

A.
The scale of the graph is too large, so the difference among scores smaller than the bars’ heights indicate

B
The scale of the graph is too small, so the difference among scores is greater than the bars’ heights indicate

C
The scale of the graph does not start at 0, so the difference among scores is smaller than the bars’ heights indicate.

D.
The scale of the graph does not start at 0, so the difference among scores greater than the bars heights indicate

Since it doesn't start at zero, her grade could look really small when it's actually about 80%. The difference isn't nearly as much as the graph would lead you to believe.
