Detailed Solution & Explanation
An ogive, which is the graphical representation of a cumulative frequency distribution, is primarily used to locate partition values such as the median, quartiles, deciles, and percentiles. By finding the point on the cumulative frequency axis corresponding to half the total frequency () and projecting it down to the horizontal axis where class boundaries are plotted, one can read the median value directly. While histograms are used to determine the mode and the mean cannot be found graphically, the ogive is specifically suited for finding the median. Hence, **Option C** is the correct answer.
