Detailed Solution & Explanation
A cumulative frequency distribution shows the running total of frequencies up to each class boundary. \n- The graphical representation specifically designed for representing a cumulative frequency distribution is an **Ogive** (or cumulative frequency curve).\n- Ogives are constructed by plotting the cumulative frequencies on the vertical axis against the class boundaries on the horizontal axis and connecting them with a smooth freehand curve.\n\nIn contrast:\n- A **Histogram** is used for representing grouped frequency distributions (non-cumulative).\n- **GM** (Geometric Mean) and **AM** (Arithmetic Mean) are measures of central tendency, not graphical presentation methods.\n\nThus, the Ogive is suitable for cumulative frequency distribution. This corresponds to Option A.\n\nHence, **Option A** is the correct answer.
