Answer 1

A.

1^st option is correct.

"Yes, because the data are categorical and all categorical data can be plotted in a pie chart".

A pie chart is best used with categorical data to show what percentage of the whole, each category constitutes. Pie chart requires all categories to be included in it and the graph always represents the whole. (Here, the total percentage of all 4 given categories is 100%).

B.

1^st option is correct.

"There is a clear upward trend but no cyclical pattern".

The line is gradually increasing and it is not cyclical because there are no irregular ups and downs.

C​​​​​​​​​​​​.

3^rd option is correct. "Fewer than 15,000".

It is clear that the 7^th point (for 2007) is slightly below the line of 15000 deaths and so, the number of deaths in 2007 was fewer than 15, 000.
