Step-by-Step Solution

A pictograph represents data using pictures/symbols and always gives a key (scale).
Answer: B) Pictograph

Key idea: Pictographs: pictures that count

A pictograph uses small pictures to represent counts. A key (or scale) tells you what one picture stands for — e.g. 1 ⚽ = 5 students. To find a category's count, multiply the number of pictures by the scale. A half-picture means half the scale (so 2½ ⚽ = 12.5, but in practice we round to a whole). Pictographs are friendly but imprecise — they're best for rough comparisons.
