Detailed Solution & Explanation

A cumulative frequency distribution accumulates frequencies class by class. The graphical representation of this distribution is obtained by plotting cumulative frequencies against the corresponding class boundaries and joining these points with a smooth curve. - This curve is known as an **Ogive** (or cumulative frequency curve). - There are two types: the 'less than' ogive (drawn by plotting 'less than' cumulative frequencies against upper class boundaries) and the 'more than' ogive (drawn by plotting 'more than' cumulative frequencies against lower class boundaries). In contrast, a **Histogram** represents simple class frequencies (not cumulative), a **Pie Chart** shows the percentage breakdown of a total, and a **Frequency Polygon** is a line graph representing simple frequencies plotted against class midpoints. Thus, the correct representation is an Ogive. Hence, **Option D** is the correct answer.
