Answer:

Inconsistent scale on the y-axis.

Step-by-step explanation:

While it may seem that the scaling is "consistent", look at the first jump. The scale from 0 to 200 is 200. This means that every single one after should be scaled at +200 (i.e., 0, 200, 400, 600, 800). Also, notice how there is no break in the graph. This misleads the data represented.

Answer:

Option A, inconsistent scale on the y-axis

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Determine what makes the graph misleading

Since the y axis started at 0 and jumped to 200 doesn't make sense. So, the answer is inconsistent scale on the y-axis.

Option B doesn't work because it does start at 0

Option C doesn't work because all of the bars have the same width

Option D doesn't work because it would be illogical

Answer: Option A, inconsistent scale on the y-axis
