Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A cross-section graph allows for the comparison of different groups at a certain point in time, which is the desired outcome based on the given scenario. A trend-section diagram combines cross-sectional and time-series data, which is not necessary for the question at hand. A time-series graph shows changes in a variable over time, not differences between groups at a specific point in time. A linear graph and scatter diagram are not appropriate for comparing groups in a population.
