Explanation
A Histogram is the correct answer because it is specifically designed to display the frequency (count) of data points falling within defined intervals or exact values, making it a direct graphical representation of how often each value appears in a dataset.
A Fishbone Diagram (also called a cause-and-effect or Ishikawa diagram) maps potential causes of a problem - it shows relationships, not data frequencies. A Pie Chart shows proportions of a whole as slices, not counts per value. A Box Plot summarizes distribution using median, quartiles, and outliers - it doesn't show individual frequency counts.
Memory tip: Think "HISTo-gram = HISTOry of occurrences" - it records how many times each value has occurred in your data, like a tally chart turned into bars.
