The correct answer is D. All of the above

Explanation:

A bar chart is a type of graph that presents information by using bars; these bars show the relationship between two factors or variables presented in the Y or vertical axis and the X or horizontal axis. For example, you might present the time 5 students spend doing homework by including the hours on the Y-axis and the name of each student on the X-axis.

In this context, for the reader to understand the information presented in the graph it is essential that each of the axes is labeled, in this way the reader will know which variables or factors are represented. Also, in most cases, you will an appropriate title that introduces the general situation that is presented. Thus, for a bar chart to be accurate you will need all of the above.
