A line graph with the years marked off in equal increments and dots representing the number of accidents would be the best choice as it allows for easy visualization of trends and patterns in the data over time. A bar graph would not be as effective as it does not show the change in number of accidents over time as clearly. A pie chart would also not be as effective as it does not show the specific numbers and does not allow for easy comparison between the different years.
