Lola · Answer 1

The correct option is d i. e. scatter plot

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct option is d i. e. scatter plot

scatter plot will be the best option to display the variation of expenditure with respect to annual income.

on one axis annual income is used and on the other expenditure of the family. hence for a particular change in annual income, an impact on expenditure will easily be predicted.
