The best answer explaining why the pie chart is a poor graph in this context is:
**A pie chart is useful for percentages.**
This statement highlights that a pie chart’s primary function is to represent data as parts of a whole based on percentages. If the percentages on the pie chart are incorrect, it fundamentally undermines the graph's purpose and usefulness in representing the data accurately. While the other statements are true, they do not directly address the issue of accuracy related to the pie chart's representation of the data.
