options:
bar chart
area chart

line chart

Explanation:

To determine the chart type, we analyze the visual: it has a single line connecting data points over time (years 1995 - 2020) to show population change. A line chart is used to display trends over time, with a line connecting values. Bar charts use bars, column charts are vertical bars, and area charts fill the area under a line (this chart has a line without filled area). So the chart is a line chart.

Line chart
