A histogram is a chart that uses bars to represent the frequency distribution of numerical data. The bars in a histogram represent the frequencies of data values that fall within specific intervals, known as class intervals. The width of each bar indicates the range of values that fall within the corresponding class interval, while the height of the bar indicates the frequency or count of data points that fall within that interval. Therefore, option C is the correct definition of a histogram.
