A line graph is the best choice to show the trend of divorces over time from 1968 to 2008. It will visually display the increase in divorces and show the overall trend. A bar graph or histogram would not be suitable for this type of data since it is continuous and not discrete. A boxplot and a stemplot would not show the overall trend over time.
