Answer 2

Answer: A - first answer (about bar graph)

Explanation:

Bar graph (not histogram) because the data isn't a frequency, just a category and numerical data.

The data matches us with the first possible answer choice, so that is correct. (The 3rd choice is also a bar graph, but the data is mixed up.)

Hope this helped!
