What model would result in such confusion?

A large car manufacturer is interested in comparing the number of sales for a specific model of electric car across all 50 US states.

The data analytics team sourced and acquired the data, and the business analyst created the model to compare sales across states.

In a meeting to review the results, the feedback received included several complaints concerning an inability to distinguish the number of sales per state.

What model would result in such confusion?
A . Bullet chart
B . Dual axis chart
C . Bar chart
D . Pie chart

Answer: D

Explanation:

A pie chart is a circular chart that shows the proportion of each category in a whole by dividing the circle into slices. A pie chart would result in confusion when comparing the number of sales for a specific model of electric car across all 50 US states, because it is difficult to compare the angles and areas of the slices, especially when there are many categories with similar values. A pie chart also does not show the absolute values of each category, unless they are labeled or annotated12. A better alternative would be a bar chart, which can show the number of sales for each state along a common axis, making it easier to compare and rank the values3.
