Explanation

Option A is correct because Multi-Vari Charts are specifically designed to visually display multiple sources of variation simultaneously - including within-piece, piece-to-piece, and time-to-time variation - and the graphical patterns they produce can reveal two-way interactions between factors without requiring a full factorial experiment. For example, if the spread of data within one group behaves differently across levels of another factor, that crossing or diverging pattern is a visual signal of an interaction, making it a genuine primary benefit of the tool.

Option B is wrong because dismissing this benefit would overlook the chart's core strength: condensing complex, multi-factor variation data into a single graphic that makes interaction patterns immediately visible to practitioners.

Memory tip: Think of "Multi-Vari" as "Multiple Variables interacting" - the chart's whole purpose is to let you see how different variation sources relate to (and interact with) each other, all on one plot.
