✅ Option a — Mode

All Options:

  • BMean
  • CFirst quartile
  • DNone of these

Detailed Solution & Explanation

A histogram is a graphical method of representing a frequency distribution. It is used to find the mode of a dataset. The mode is the value that appears most frequently, which corresponds to the tallest bar (modal class) in a histogram. By drawing diagonal lines from the upper corners of the tallest rectangle to the adjacent corners of the neighboring rectangles, the x-coordinate of the intersection point of these diagonals gives the approximate mode. Quartiles (including the first quartile) and medians are found using ogives, and the mean is not found graphically. Hence, **Option A** is the correct answer.
