You want to show hover labels only for points where y > 5 in this plot. Which code change achieves this?

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import mplcursors

fig, ax = plt.subplots()
x = [1, 2, 3, 4]
y = [4, 5, 6, 7]
points = ax.plot(x, y, 'o')
# Add hover labels only for y > 5
mplcursors.cursor(points)

AUse <code>mplcursors.cursor(points).remove()</code> for points with y <= 5

BFilter points before plotting: <code>ax.plot([xi for xi, yi in zip(x,y) if yi>5], [yi for yi in y if yi>5], 'o')</code>

CSet cursor with <code>mplcursors.cursor(points, hover=True, filter=lambda sel: sel.target[1] > 5)</code>

DUse <code>mplcursors.cursor(points).connect('add', lambda sel: sel.annotation.set_visible(sel.target[1] > 5))</code>

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand how to filter hover labels
mplcursors allows connecting to events like 'add' to customize annotation visibility based on data values.
Step 2: Analyze options for filtering by y > 5
Use mplcursors.cursor(points).connect('add', lambda sel: sel.annotation.set_visible(sel.target[1] > 5)) uses a lambda to set annotation visible only if y > 5, which is correct. Filter points before plotting: ax.plot([xi for xi, yi in zip(x,y) if yi>5], [yi for yi in y if yi>5], 'o') filters points before plotting but does not use mplcursors filtering. Set cursor with mplcursors.cursor(points, hover=True, filter=lambda sel: sel.target[1] > 5) uses a non-existent 'filter' argument. Use mplcursors.cursor(points).remove() for points with y <= 5 tries to remove cursor which is not valid for selective filtering.
Final Answer:
Use mplcursors.cursor(points).connect('add', lambda sel: sel.annotation.set_visible(sel.target[1] > 5)) -> Option D
Quick Check:
Connect 'add' event to filter hover labels [OK]

Quick Trick: Use cursor.connect('add', lambda sel: condition) to filter labels [OK]

Common Mistakes:

Trying to filter points only by plotting
Using unsupported 'filter' argument in cursor()
Attempting to remove cursor for selective points
