  • AWidth
  • BColour
  • CLabel
  • DPosition on the -axis

Step-by-Step Solution

Bars in a bar graph are of equal width; only their heights differ to show different frequencies.
Answer: A) Width

Key idea: Bar graphs: precise comparisons

A bar graph uses bars of **equal width** but **different heights**. The -axis (vertical) shows the frequency on a numeric scale; the -axis (horizontal) lists the categories. Reading: line up the top of each bar with the -axis to find its frequency. Comparing: the tallest bar is the most common; the shortest is the least common. Bars are usually evenly spaced for clarity.
