Detailed Solution & Explanation
A divided bar chart, also known as a component bar chart, is used to represent data where the total magnitude of a variable is split into various components. It serves two primary purposes: (1) comparing different components of a single variable or comparing components across different categories (Option A), and (2) illustrating the relation of different components to the total value (Option B, where the word 'table' is a common typographical error in CA Foundation textbooks for the word 'total'). Since both of these purposes are valid, we consider both (a) and (b). Hence, **Option D** is the correct answer.
