Not sure, sounds a bit too broad for just one type of chart.

I’m confused because the histogram also deals with data, but I think it’s more about distribution rather than trends.

I feel like the Pareto chart is more about prioritizing issues rather than showing trends over time, so I’m leaning towards C as well.

This seems straightforward to me. The description of showing trends, variation, and improvements over time is a clear match for a run chart. I'm confident that C is the correct answer here.

I'm a little confused by the wording here. It mentions "trend analysis" which makes me think it could be a Pareto chart. But the description of plotting data points over time points more towards a run chart. I'll have to make an educated guess on this one.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The description mentions "line graph" and "data points plotted in order", but I'm not totally sure if that means it's a run chart or something else. I'll have to think it through carefully.
