Explanation:

A scatter plot is used to investigate the relationship between two variables. In this case, Josh wants to see the relationship between people's height (one variable) and their shoe sizes (another variable). A scatter - plot would plot each individual's height on one axis and their shoe size on the other axis, allowing for the visualization of any potential correlation or relationship between the two variables. A histogram is used to show the distribution of a single variable. A bar graph is often used to compare categorical data. A broken - line graph is typically used to show the change of a variable over time.

C. Scatter Plot
