C. a histogram
A histogram would be the best way for Shandy to show the distribution of heights among the daisies. A histogram is a graphical representation of the distribution of data where the data is divided into intervals or bins and bars are used to represent the frequency of data within each interval. This will allow Shandy to easily see which heights are most common and which are least common among the daisies.
