Which of the following is true about the base plotting system? (a) Margins and spacings are adjusted automatically depending on the type of plot and the data (b) Plots are typically created with a single function call (c) Plots are created and annotated with separate functions (d) The system is most useful for conditioning plots I had been asked this question in an international level competition. My query is from Exploratory Data Analysis topic in division Profiling, Simulation and Data Analysis of R Programming Select the correct answer from above options

Answer 1

Right option is (c) Plots are created and annotated with separate functions For explanation I would say: Functions like ‘plot’ or ‘hist’ typically create the plot on the graphics device and functions like ‘lines’, ‘text’, or ‘points’ will annotate or add data to the plot.
