A. bar graph
A bar graph would be the best type of graph to show the amount of different types of trash found by weight, as it allows for easy comparison between the different categories. Each type of trash can be represented by a separate bar, with the height of the bar corresponding to the weight of that type of trash found. This makes it easy for viewers to see which types of trash are most prevalent on the beach.
