Based on the stem-and-leaf display, we can see that the stems are 3,4,5,6, and 9. The corresponding leaf values are 2,3,6,4,7,8,8,5,4, and 9. Arranging these leaf values in ascending order, we get 2,3,4,4,5,6,7,8,8, and 9. Thus, the original data is 32, 33, 36, 47, 48, 48, 54, and 59. Therefore, the best choice is C.
