Explanation

A Run Chart plots data points in the sequence they occur over time, making it the go-to tool for spotting trends, shifts, and cycles in a process - which is exactly what "displaying data across time" means. Option A (comparing categories) describes a bar chart. Option C (distribution shape) describes a histogram. Option D (validating measurement systems) describes a Gauge R&R or MSA study.

Memory tip: Think "Run = Run through time" - a Run Chart shows a process running through time, one data point after another in order.
