Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the table data

The table shows the number of each lunch type sold: Soup Combo - 100, Pizza - 60, Pasta Plate - 400, Hamburger - 500, Deli Sandwich - 300.

Step2: Check each graph option

• For the first graph (Type of Lunch graph), it does not match the data as the visual representation is not in line with the numbers.
• For the "Number Sold" bar - graph (the second one), the lengths of the bars should correspond to the number of lunches sold. Soup Combo (100) should have a longer bar than Pizza (60), but in this graph, it is not the case.
• For the pictograph (with $\square = 10$ lunches), Soup Combo: $100\div10 = 10$ squares, Pizza: $60\div10=6$ squares, Pasta Plate: $400\div10 = 40$ squares, Hamburger: $500\div10=50$ squares, Deli Sandwich: $300\div10 = 30$ squares. This matches the data.
• For the last "Number Sold" bar - graph, Soup Combo (100) should be longer than Pizza (60), but in this graph, it is not.

Answer:

The pictograph (with $\square = 10$ lunches)
