Detailed Solution & Explanation
A histogram is a graphical presentation of a continuous frequency distribution.
- The tallest rectangle in a histogram represents the modal class (the class with the highest frequency or frequency density).
- Within this modal rectangle, we can graphically locate the **Mode** by drawing two diagonal lines: one from the top-right corner of the modal rectangle to the top-right corner of the preceding rectangle, and another from the top-left corner of the modal rectangle to the top-left corner of the succeeding rectangle.
- The x-coordinate of the intersection point of these two diagonals gives the estimated modal value.
- The Mean cannot be found graphically.
- Quartiles (including the first quartile, , and the median, ) are found graphically using Ogives, not histograms. Therefore, a histogram is used for finding the Mode.
Hence, **Option A** is the correct answer.
