it would be neither.

Explanation:

Analyze historical charts and graphs

Charts and graphs represent quantitative data visually. Bar graphs, line graphs, and circle (pie) graphs are standard statistical tools used to display numerical data over time or in categories. A social pyramid is a diagram representing social hierarchy rather than a quantitative chart or graph.

Evaluate the 18th-century image source type

Using Primary and Secondary Sources analysis, we determine the nature of the source. The image was created in the 18th century, which is the same time period being studied (18th-century punishments). Because it is a first-hand, contemporary visual record from the era under study, it serves as a primary source.
