Why each option
To visualize the composition of total sales amounts across three sales channels, a pie chart is the most appropriate visualization. A pie chart effectively shows the proportion of each category relative to the whole, making it ideal for displaying parts of a total.
A pivot table displays data in a tabular format, allowing for aggregation and summarization, but it doesn't offer a visual representation of proportions as effectively as a chart.
A pie chart is best suited for showing the proportion of different categories relative to a whole. When depicting the composition of total sales amounts across three sales channels, a pie chart clearly illustrates how much each channel contributes to the overall sales.
A KPI (Key Performance Indicator) card typically displays a single, important metric or value, often with an indicator of performance against a target, not a breakdown of composition.
A box plot (or box-and-whisker plot) is used to display the distribution of numerical data and identify outliers, which is not suitable for showing the composition of a total across categories.
