Why each option

A run chart is a graphical tool used to display data over time, making it effective for identifying patterns or shifts in process performance.

ARelationships between variables

Relationships between variables are typically identified using a scatter diagram, not a run chart.

BCauses of defects

Causes of defects are typically identified through root cause analysis tools like fishbone diagrams or Pareto charts, though a run chart can show when defects occur.

CSample

While a run chart displays data from a sample, it identifies patterns or trends within that data, not the 'sample' itself as an output.

DTrendsCorrect

A run chart is a line graph that plots data points in chronological order, allowing project teams to visually identify trends, shifts, cycles, or other non-random patterns in a process over time. This helps in understanding process behavior and stability.
