Decide whether the following statement makes sense(or is clearlytrue) or does not make sense(or is clearlyfalse). Explain your reasoning......

There's been only a very slight rise in our stock price over the past fewmonths, but I wanted to make it look dramatic so I started the vertical scale from the lowest price rather than from zero.

Choose the correct answer below

A. The statement does not make sense because changing the axis cannot change the data that is being displayed.

B. The statement makes sense because reducing the range of the vertical axis to just fit the data will increase the relative size of the variation in the data.

C. The statement makes sense because increasing the range of the vertical axis to contain all of the data will increase the relative size of the variation in the data.

D. The statement does not make sense because reducing the range of the vertical axis to just fit the data will decrease the relative size of the variation in the data.
