A graph that shows the value of an economic variable for different groups in a population at a given time is called a cross-section graph. The other options do not fit the description. A scatter diagram is used to show the relationship between two variables, a time-series graph shows data over time, a pie chart shows proportions of a whole, and a fixed-time diagram is not a commonly used term in economics.
