To edit the chart data, Isla should click the Edit Data button on the Chart Tools Design tab, which will open up the spreadsheet containing the chart data. From there, she can make the necessary updates to the data. Option A also works, but opening the spreadsheet this way may not be immediately obvious to all users. Option C is not practical for editing large amounts of data, as it would be time-consuming to change each individual data marker. Option D is incorrect, as charts can be easily edited in PowerPoint.
