Explanation

A Pareto chart is the correct choice. It is a bar chart that displays categories of defects (or problems) ranked in descending order of frequency or impact, making it easy to identify which categories cause the most issues. It is based on the Pareto Principle (the 80/20 rule), which states that roughly 80% of effects come from 20% of causes. A cause-and-effect (Ishikawa) chart - options A and D are the same tool - maps the root causes of a single problem but does not rank categories. A control chart monitors process performance over time, not category frequency.
