Given the bar graph above, the difference in monthly electric cost appear to be great because of the choice of scale.

In scaling, the narrower the intervals of the axis, the larger the graph and the more highlighted the relative difference between the components of the graph.

Conversely, the wider the the intervals of the axis, the smaller the graph and the less highlighted the relative difference between the components of the graph.

Therefore, to make the difference in monthly electric cost appear not to be as great, we widden the intervals on the y-axis.
i.e. 'The interval on the y-axis could be changed to count by 20s.'

You can use the fact that the graph you have currently is using 5's scale. If you count by 20s, 20 difference would be covered in just 1 unit increment in y, which would make the viewer see the relative difference not great.

The graph can be redrawn for the difference in monthly electric cost to not appear as great as it is seeming by

Option D) : The interval on the y-axis could be changed to count by 20s.

How to make the graph so that the difference in y output doesn't appear great?

See, the bars on 1, 2, and 3 are looking different from each other.

What can you do to make them look more close?

  • You need to decrease the y units between them.

How can you do that?

  • You need to count as much difference as you can by single unit of y.

Since in the fourth option, the counting on y axis was done by 20s (one unit will be equal to 20 bucks cost), which will then imply that those three bars would only be half unit different from each adjacent bar(as the difference in adjacent bars is of 10 bucks).

Thus,

Option D) : The interval on the y-axis could be changed to count by 20s.
