Explanation:

Step1: Recall Pareto chart rule

A Pareto chart orders categories by frequency (highest to lowest).

Step2: Check legend-category alignment

• Option A: Legend labels match bars (D highest, then P, G, T, E) → correct order.
• Option B: Legend mislabels (blue=Pool but bar is Parking/Drives) → wrong.
• Option C: Legend mislabels (yellow=Grounds but bar is Tenant issues) → wrong.
• Option D: Legend mislabels (green=Pool but bar is Grounds) → wrong.

Answer:

A. [Chart with blue D bar tallest, then red P, green G, yellow T, purple E]
