    Solution

    Effective data storytelling aligns with business objectives and emphasizes key insights, making the narrative relevant and actionable.

By focusing on objectives, analysts ensure their message resonates, facilitating collaboration and informed decision-making across teams. Why Other Options Are Incorrect: • A: Overloading visuals can confuse rather than clarify the message. • B: Cherry-picking data creates a biased view, reducing credibility. • D: Raw tables lack context and are harder for stakeholders to interpret. • E: Simplifying data for clarity ensures stakeholders can grasp key points easily.
