Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Family expenditure data represents parts of a whole, where each item contributes to the total spending.

A Pie Diagram is specifically designed to visualize proportions or percentages of a total, making it ideal for showing how different expenditure items contribute to the overall budget.

Other diagrams like histograms show frequency distributions, and line graphs display trends over time, neither of which effectively represent part-to-whole relationships.
