Why each option
A Gantt chart is the standard project management tool for displaying activity durations plotted along a time-based calendar axis.
A scatter chart plots data points on two numerical axes to show correlation or distribution between variables, not task durations over time.
A Gantt chart maps project activities on the vertical axis against a time scale (calendar) on the horizontal axis, visually showing the start date, end date, and duration of each activity. It is the most widely used tool for schedule visualization in project and business analysis planning. No other chart type natively represents task duration against calendar time in this way.
A pie chart displays proportional parts of a whole as slices and cannot represent time-based activity duration.
A Pareto chart combines a bar chart and line graph to rank causes by frequency or impact (the 80/20 rule) and does not represent scheduling or calendar duration.
