2. Farah is preparing a bar chart to depict the varying amounts of iron ore found in different geographic regions of the country. She adds a title to the chart and labels both the axis.

The labels of the axis should be removed, since the title already explains them.
The bars should not be placed close to each other.
The labels should be placed outside the bars instead of inside.
The width of all the bars should be the same.
The title of the bar chart should be removed.
