Explanation

With only two categories (active and inactive), a pie chart effectively shows how total or average spending is proportionally split between those two groups, giving a clear visual comparison of their relative magnitudes. Among the choices, it is the most appropriate: a heat graph (B) is used to show density or intensity patterns across many variables, a scatter plot (C) is for showing correlation between two continuous numeric variables, and a line chart (D) is best for showing trends over time. Note: in practice a bar chart is often preferred for comparing averages, but it is not among the options here.
