Detailed Solution & Explanation
A histogram is a graphical method for displaying grouped continuous frequency data. It is constructed by plotting the class intervals along the horizontal axis (X-axis) and the corresponding class frequencies (or frequency densities) along the vertical axis (Y-axis).
- Over each class interval, a vertical bar is erected.
- Because the width of each bar represents the class interval and the height represents the frequency/density, each bar is geometrically a **Rectangle**.
- Since there are no gaps between class intervals in continuous distributions, the histogram is represented by a series of adjacent, contiguous rectangles.
Other shapes like Ellipse, Hyperbola, or Circle are not used to construct histograms. Thus, the histogram is shown as a series of rectangles.
Hence, **Option B** is the correct answer.
