CompTIA Data+ (DA0-001) — Question 291

A data analyst was asked to create a visual representation of sales for the first quarter of 2020. Which of the following visualizations should be used when a time element is present?

Answer options

• A. A bubble chart
• B. A line chart
• C. A scatter plot
• D. An infographic

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The line chart is the most suitable option for representing data over time, as it effectively shows trends and changes across the specified period. While bubble charts, scatter plots, and infographics can provide insights, they do not specifically focus on time progression in the same way that a line chart does.
