Stem-and-leaf displays typically involve using digits as the leaves. Since math SAT scores can range from 200 to 800 in increments of 10, the most logical choice for the leaves would be the digits 0 through 9. The code |6|5 = 650 would be used for a score of 650. Therefore, choice B is the best option.
