DA0-002 · Question #90
A grocery store wants to view the revenue from the previous year, highlighting individual departments. Which of the following is the most appropriate chart to communicate this information?
The correct answer is B. Pie. To visualize revenue distribution across individual departments for a single period (previous year), a pie chart is most appropriate as it clearly shows parts of a whole and their proportional contribution.

Why each option
To visualize revenue distribution across individual departments for a single period (previous year), a pie chart is most appropriate as it clearly shows parts of a whole and their proportional contribution.
A Gantt chart is used for project scheduling and task management, not for displaying revenue distribution.
A pie chart effectively displays the contribution of each individual department to the total revenue for the previous year, making it easy to see the proportion or share of each department relative to the whole. Pie charts are best used for showing parts of a whole where the number of categories is small.
An area chart is suitable for showing trends over time or the magnitude of change, often with multiple data series stacked, which isn't the primary goal here.
A line chart is ideal for showing trends or changes over a continuous period, such as revenue month-over-month, rather than a snapshot of departmental contributions to a total.
