Correct Answer Explanation

An arithmetic line graph is also called time series graph.

  • The value of the variable (time series data) is plotted along Y-axis.
  • It helps in understanding the trend, periodicity, etc., in long-term data.

  • A. Frequency polygon: This represents grouped frequency distribution, not time series.
  • C. Ogive: Ogive is a cumulative frequency curve.
  • D. Histogram: Histogram represents frequency distribution with rectangles.
