A histogram is the best choice to display the distribution of salaries for a large number of professors. It allows for easy visualization of the distribution shape, center, and spread of the data. A boxplot or stemplot can also be used but are more suitable for smaller datasets. A line graph is not appropriate for displaying a distribution, and a pie chart is not suitable for showing continuous data.
