In a stem-and-leaf plot, the stem is the leftmost digit(s) of the number while the leaf is the rightmost digit. Therefore, the stem for 237 would be 23 and the leaf would be 7. Choice A is incorrect because the stem should only include the leftmost digit(s). Choice C is incorrect because there should be no digits in the leaf as the leaf is only the rightmost digit. Choice D is incorrect because there should always be a stem.
