Detailed Solution & Explanation
An **Ogive**, also known as a cumulative frequency polygon or curve, is a graph that represents cumulative frequencies. It is constructed in two ways:
1. **Less-than Ogive**: Plotted by taking the upper limits of class intervals on the -axis and the corresponding cumulative frequencies on the -axis. The curve rises from left to right.
2. **More-than Ogive**: Plotted by taking the lower limits of class intervals on the -axis and the corresponding cumulative frequencies on the -axis. The curve falls from left to right.
By definition, the ogive represents the cumulative frequencies of a grouped frequency distribution, making it the graphical representation of a **cumulative frequency distribution**. This corresponds to Option A.
Hence, **Option A** is the correct answer.
