Detailed Solution & Explanation
An Ogive is a curve constructed by plotting cumulative frequencies against class boundaries.
- Because it displays the accumulation of frequencies across class intervals (either 'less than' or 'more than'), it is also widely referred to as a **cumulative frequency graph** or cumulative frequency curve.
In contrast:
- A **frequency graph** (or curve) represents the smoothed frequencies of class intervals directly.
- A **histogram** consists of rectangles showing frequencies of class intervals directly on a continuous scale, not cumulative frequencies.
Thus, the alternative name for an Ogive is a cumulative frequency graph, which corresponds to Option B.
Hence, **Option B** is the correct answer.
