Decide whether the following statement makes sense (or is clearly true) or does not make sense (or is clearly false), Explain your reasoning. Your bar graph must be wrong, because you have 12 bars, but there were only 6 data categories. Choose the correct answer below. A. The statement does not make sense because a bar graph is only wrong when the size of the bars is incorrect. B. The statement makes sense because there should be fower bars than categories. C. The statement does not make sense because when making a bar graph, you can have as many bars as you want. D. The statement makes sense because there should be exactly one bar per category.

To evaluate the statement, let's analyze the reasoning behind each option: A. **The statement does not make sense because a bar graph is only wrong when the size of the bars is incorrect.** - This option is misleading. While the size of the bars is important for representing data accurately, the number of bars in relation to the categories is also crucial. Therefore, this option does not adequately address the issue. B. **The statement makes sense because there should be fewer bars than categories.** - This option is incorrect. It is possible to have more bars than categories if some categories are subdivided or if there are multiple data points for each category. C. **The statement does not make sense because when making a bar graph, you can have as many bars as you want.** - This option is partially true, as you can technically create a bar graph with any number of bars. However, it does not address the specific issue of having more bars than categories, which can indicate a problem in the representation of the data. D. **The statement makes sense because there should be exactly one bar per category.** - This option is the most accurate. In a standard bar graph, each category typically corresponds to one bar. If there are 12 bars but only 6 categories, it suggests that the graph may be misrepresenting the data or that there are multiple bars for some categories, which could lead to confusion. Based on this analysis, the correct answer is: **D. The statement makes sense because there should be exactly one bar per category.**
