Correct: 2, 3 and 4.
Explanation:
- 1 is not required (and usually impossible): a chart needn't answer every conceivable question, only provide enough context to interpret the data.
- 2 is required: clear units are essential for interpreting magnitudes and comparisons.
- 3 is required: a good chart should let readers quickly grasp its message (clear design, labels, legend, scale).
- 4 is conditionally required: provide data values where they are needed for interpretation or precision, but avoid cluttering the chart with unnecessary labels.
