Detailed Solution & Explanation

A tabular presentation (or statistical table) is a systematic arrangement of data in rows and columns. Let's analyze the options: - **Continuous series data** is summarized in frequency distributions but is typically visualized using a histogram. - **Nominal data** can be summarized in simple tables, but doesn't uniquely require a table. - **Comparison of Data** is one of the main objectives of tabulation, but a tabular presentation is particularly powerful and uniquely suited for presenting **time series data for a longer period** (t1,t2,dots,tn\displaystyle t_1, t_2, \\dots, t_n). In such cases, graphical representation might become cluttered and difficult to read, while a table can present all the values systematically and compactly. Therefore, a tabular presentation is most effectively used for time series data over a longer period. Hence, **Option C** is the correct answer.
