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.
