To determine which stem-and-leaf plot is accurate, we need to identify how the data is organized in each plot.

A stem-and-leaf plot is organized with "stems" representing the leading digits of the data points and "leaves" representing the trailing digits. Each unique stem value corresponds to the same digit or digits (tens, hundreds, etc.) in the data points.

Let's analyze each option:

1. **First Plot:**
- Stem 0: Leaf 9 (represents 09)
- Stem 1: Leaves 0, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 8, 9 (represents 10, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 18, 19)
- Stem 2: Leaves 0, 1, 4, 4, 5, 6 (represents 20, 21, 24, 24, 25, 26)

2. **Second Plot:**
- Stem 2: Leaf 9 (represents 29)
- Stem 1: Leaves 0, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 8, 9 (represents 10, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 18, 19)
- Stem 3: Leaves 0, 1, 4, 4, 5, 6 (represents 30, 31, 34, 34, 35, 36)

3. **Third Plot:**
- Stem 0: Leaf 9 (represents 09)
- Stem 1: Leaves 0, 3, 4, 5 (represents 10, 13, 14, 15)
- Stem 2: Leaves 6, 5, 5, 4, 3 (in reverse order, unclear representation)

4. **Fourth Plot:**
- Stem 2: Leaf 9 (represents 29)
- Stem 0: Leaves 0, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 8, 9 (represents 00, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 08, 09)
- Stem 1: Leaves 0, 1, 4, 4, 5, 6 (represents 10, 11, 14, 14, 15, 16)

From the analysis, stem values and their respective leaves should logically represent distinct data points.

The first plot seems reasonable as it organizes numbers correctly without any confusion. The other plots either misrepresent the organization or introduce incorrect sequences of numbers.

Thus, **the first plot** is the most accurate stem-and-leaf representation.
