MATLAB - 2D Plotting

x = 1:5;
y = [10 20 30 40];
plot(x, y);

AVectors x and y have different lengths causing an error.

Bplot function is misspelled.

Cx should be a column vector, not a row vector.

DNo error; the plot will display correctly.

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Check vector lengths
Vector x has 5 elements, but y has only 4 elements. MATLAB requires vectors to be the same length for plotting.
Step 2: Understand plot behavior
Because of the length mismatch, MATLAB will produce an error when trying to plot.
Final Answer:
Vectors x and y have different lengths causing an error. -> Option A
Quick Check:
Equal vector lengths needed = C [OK]

Quick Trick: Ensure x and y vectors have same length [OK]
