Question

select the correct answer.
an online retailer created an incentive program for its sales team. employees who collect the most donations for a local children’s hospital will receive free movie passes as a prize. which type of graphic would be most effective to compare the donations each employee collects?
a. scatterplot
b. line graph
c. bar graph
d. infographic

Explanation:

A bar graph is designed to compare discrete categories (here, individual employees) by displaying quantities (donations) as bars. This makes it easy to visually compare the donation amounts each employee collected, which aligns with the goal of identifying who collected the most. Scatterplots show relationships between variables, line graphs track trends over time, and infographics are for broader storytelling—none are as direct for comparing individual employee totals as a bar graph.

Answer:

C. bar graph
