Step 1. Given Information.

The following display of the data is given:

Candidate

Percent of vote

A

43%

B

28%

C

29%

The options to display the above data are:

  1. Line graph
  2. Circle graph
  3. Scatter plot
  4. Histogram

Step 2. Explanation.

A circle graph would be appropriate, because the display of data is given as a percentage and the sum of all the percentages turn out to be whole number. So, in a circle graph it would be just easy to look and say which candidate won.

Step 3. Conclusion.

It is observed that the circle graph would be appropriate to say which candidate won, which means option B is correct.
