A car salesman sells cars with prices ranging from $5,000 to $45,000. The histogram shows the distribution of the numbers of cars he expects to sell over the next 10 years.

The salesman has observed that many students are looking for cars that cost less than $5,000. If he decides to also deal in cars that cost less than $5,000 and projects selling 200 of them over the next 10 years, how will the distribution be affected?

A.
a modified histogram with the distribution shifted to the left and a 200 bar between 40000 and 45000
B.
a modified histogram with a 200 bar between 0 and 5000
C.
a modified histogram with a 200 bar between 0 and 5000 and a 250 bar between 5000 and 10000
D.
a modified histogram with a 250 bar between 0 and 5000
