Answer
Option $\text{b}$
Work Step by Step
Recall:
When creating a scatterplot, the following settings must be followed:
$X_{\text{min}}$ should be slightly lower than the lowest $x$-value
$X_{\text{max}}$ should be slightly higher than the highest $x$-value
$Y_{\text{min}}$ should be slightly lower than the lowest $y$-value
$Y_{\text{max}}$ should be slightly higher than the highest $y$-value
The given data has the following characteristics:
lowest $x$ value is $0$ and maximum is $8700$;
lowest $y$ value is $2002$ and maximum is $2018$
Therefore, the best scatterplot display will be given by the settings in Option $\text{b}$.
