  • Araw (ungrouped)
  • Bgrouped
  • Cprimary
  • Dsecondary

Step-by-Step Solution

Raw or ungrouped data is data as originally collected, before arranging or classifying it.
Answer: A) raw (ungrouped)

Key idea: Histogram vs bar graph

Both look like bars, but they differ:

**Bar graph**: For DISCRETE / categorical data (favourite colour, sport, etc.). Bars have GAPS between them. Width has no meaning.

**Histogram**: For CONTINUOUS / grouped data with class intervals. Bars TOUCH (no gaps), reflecting that the class boundaries are continuous. Bar WIDTH represents class size; HEIGHT represents frequency.

**Frequency polygon**: connect the midpoints (class marks) of the tops of histogram bars to form a line graph. Useful for comparing two distributions on the same axes.

**Key rule**: histogram bars must have no gaps; bar graph bars MUST have gaps.
