Correct answer & explanation
✓
Including interactive filters when possible to allow stakeholders to explore data
Interactive filters (e.g., slicers, parameter controls) empower stakeholders to drill down into specific data subsets, ask ad-hoc questions, and uncover insights without overwhelming the initial view. This aligns with the principle of user-driven exploration, which is a best practice for stakeholder presentations where different audience members may have varying interests. Including interactivity also reduces the need for multiple static charts, keeping the presentation concise while still offering depth.
