Correct Answer

A

Explanation

the following characteristics:i) The width of each rectangular bar is equal. This ensures that the bars are of uniform size and have the same width.ii) The height of each rectangular bar is proportional to the frequency of the corresponding class interval. This means that the height of each bar represents the frequency or count of data points falling within that particular class interval.iii) The rectangular bars have common sides with no gaps in between. This ensures that the bars are adjacent to each other, forming a continuous representation of the data.These characteristics together describe a histogram, which is a graphical representation of the distribution of a dataset. Histograms are commonly used to visualize the frequency or count of data points within different intervals or bins.
