Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The letters on the bottom of the hydrograph most likely represent time intervals in hours (e.g. A=0-1 hour, B=1-2 hours, etc.). This is based on the common practice of using alphabetical characters to denote discrete time intervals on hydrographs or other time-series data displays. The other options (meters, kilograms, miles) are units of measure for variables like distance or mass, which would not be appropriate for a hydrograph.
