march 68
april 65
may 63
june 61
july 60
august 62
september 66
october 68
choose the correct plot below. all graphs are 0,12,1 by 50,70,2.
a.
b.
c.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify x - values

x = 3 for March, x = 4 for April, ..., x = 10 for October.

Step2: Identify y - values

The y - values are the average temperatures: 68 for March, 65 for April, 63 for May, 61 for June, 60 for July, 62 for August, 66 for September, 68 for October.

Step3: Plot the points

We would plot the points (3,68), (4,65), (5,63), (6,61), (7,60), (8,62), (9,66), (10,68) on the given axes range [0,12] by [50,70]. Then we check which of the given plots matches these points.

Answer:

(Without seeing the actual visual differences between A, B and C clearly in text - based format, we can't definitively choose. But the correct way is to plot the above - mentioned points and match).
