Explanation

A heat map (B) is the ideal visualization for showing click frequency across a webpage layout. Heat maps use color gradients (typically cool-to-warm, like blue-to-red) to represent the intensity of activity at specific locations on a page - making it immediately obvious which links or areas receive the most interaction. With 30+ links, this spatial representation is far more intuitive than other chart types. A scatter plot (A) shows relationships between two numeric variables and is not designed for spatial click data. A pie chart (C) could show relative click proportions but would be cluttered and hard to read with 30+ slices, and loses the spatial context of where links are on the page. An infographic (D) is a general presentation format, not an analytical visualization. The heat map is the standard tool for this exact use case.
