A pie chart would be the best choice for presenting the market share of the five different search engines because it allows for easy comparison of the different proportions of the whole (total search engine usage). A contingency table or stem-and-leaf display would be too detailed for this type of data, and a histogram would not be appropriate as it is used to display continuous data rather than categorical data.
