Explanation

Trend analysis is specifically designed to identify patterns and changes in data over a time period, making it the correct choice for examining how TV viewership rises or falls over time. Descriptive analysis summarizes data with statistics like mean and median but does not focus on temporal change. Exploratory analysis is used to discover unknown patterns without a predefined question and is more suited to initial data investigation. Predictive analysis uses historical data to forecast future values. When the explicit goal is to examine how a variable changes over time, trend analysis is the appropriate methodology.
