The given table represents hours worked and pay received. Since the maximum value for hours worked is 50, a reasonable choice for the h scale would be 10, so that the x-axis can accommodate all the values without being too compressed or too spread out. Using a scale of 1 or 1000 would either make the graph too large or too small, making it difficult to read accurately. Therefore, choice B) 10 is the best choice for the h scale.
