How to determine the appropriate graph?

The graphs that complete the question are added as an attachment

From the attached graph, we have the following highlights:

The data points on the y-axis of graph A are in an arithmetic sequence i.e. 30, 60, 90, 120....
The data points on the y-axis of graph B are not in an arithmetic sequence i.e. 60, 20, 40, 80....

The above means that graph B is a misleading graph

Hence, Benjamin should use graph A for his report
