Correct Answer Explanation
At the top of each column in a table, a column designation is given to explain the figures. This is called caption or column heading.
Key Points:
- Captions describe what data each column contains.
- They are placed at the top of each column.
- Examples: "Rural", "Urban", "Total" as column headings in a literacy table.
- Captions are different from stubs (row headings).
Why Other Options Are Wrong
- A. Stubs: Stubs are row headings, not column headings.
- C. Title: The title narrates the overall content of the table.
- D. Note: Notes explain specific features not otherwise clear.
