Correct Answer

✅ Option a — A Pie chart

All Options:

  • AA Pie chart
  • BA pictograph
  • CAn ogive
  • DHistogram

Detailed Solution & Explanation

A pie chart is a circular statistical graphic divided into slices or sectors to illustrate numerical proportion. In a pie chart, the arc length (or central angle) of each sector is proportional to the quantity it represents. It is specifically designed and highly suitable for displaying the partitioning of a total amount into its component sub-parts, showing how much each part contributes to the whole. In contrast, an ogive is used for cumulative frequencies, a histogram is used for continuous frequency distributions, and a pictograph uses pictures to represent data. Hence, **Option A** is the correct answer.
