Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the data

We have 5 long - sleeve shirts, 7 short - sleeve shirts, and 5 tank tops.

Step2: Check the bar - graph labels and heights

• In option W:
• The label order is Long, Short, Tank.
• The height for Long (blue bar) is 5 (since it is at the 5 - mark on the y - axis), the height for Short (green bar) is 7 (at the 7 - mark), and the height for Tank (light - blue bar) is 5 (at the 5 - mark).
• In option X: The height for Short is not 7.
• In option Y: The label order is wrong (should be Long, Short, Tank).
• In option Z: The height for Long is not 5.

Answer:

W
