a pie chart like this one is most helpful for
○ making predictions about the future.
○ showing how parts make up a whole.
○ presenting amounts over a period of time.
○ comparing information from different sources.

Explanation:

A pie chart's main purpose is to display the proportion of each part relative to the whole. The given pie chart shows the distribution of the world's population (the whole) among different regions (the parts). "Making predictions about the future" is not a pie chart's strength. "Presenting amounts over a period of time" is for line graphs or time - series charts. "Comparing information from different sources" is not what a pie chart is designed for. So the correct option is the one about showing how parts make up a whole.

Answer:

B. showing how parts make up a whole.
