A cross-section graph is used to compare data between different categories or groups, which would be appropriate for comparing the average SAT scores between males and females. A scatter diagram is used to show the relationship between two continuous variables and a time-series graph is used to show changes in a variable over time. A time-stationary graph and a trend figure are not commonly used terms for types of graphs.
