A stemplot displays the actual data, allowing us to see the distribution of the data (I), and it is suitable for small to medium-sized data sets (III). Boxplots are better for large data sets (II), but they do not display the actual data as stemplots do. Therefore, D is the best choice as it acknowledges the advantages of stemplots in revealing the distribution and displaying actual data, while also noting that boxplots might be better for larger data sets.
