Correct Answer Explanation

In tabular presentation, data are presented in rows (read horizontally) and columns (read vertically).

Key Points:
  • Each box in a table is called a "cell".
  • The most important advantage of tabulation is that it organises data for further statistical treatment and decision-making.
  • Tabulation can be done using one-way, two-way or three-way classification.
  • It can accommodate any volume of data for one or more variables.
Why Other Options Are Wrong
  • A. Paragraphs and sentences: This describes textual presentation, not tabular.
  • C. Circles and sectors: This describes pie diagrams.
  • D. Bars and lines: This describes diagrammatic presentation.
