Final Answer : C, Explanation :  Using graphics to contribute to the overall understanding of the idea being discussed is a key guideline for effective use of graphics. It helps to enhance the understanding of the topic and keeps the audience interested. Saving graphics only for data that can be easily communicated in words (option A) is not necessary, as graphics can be used for complex data too. Option B is incorrect, as using a wide selection of typefaces and colors can make the content appear cluttered, making it difficult to read and understand. Option D is also incorrect, as the text and graphics should be balanced and complement each other instead of one element exceeding the other.
