Answer: d.  The vertical scale is too narrow. It needs to be a wider range, such as 0 to 100.

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertical scale is indeed too narrow. It needs to have a wider range that will enable a person who is looking at the graph, better compare the results shown because the magnitude of the number will be more apparent.

A range such as 0 to 100 would be ideal for this and would present the information in such a way that when a person looks at the graph, they understand the relative difference between the percentages who agreed with the court decision.
