C
Sparkline
D
Histogram
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the definition of each option: A pie chart shows proportions of categories, a boxplot summarizes data distribution with quartiles, a histogram displays frequency distribution, and a sparkline is a small, simple line graph embedded within text or a report.
Recognize that the question asks for a small embedded line graph illustrating a single trend within a larger dataset or report.
Recall that sparklines are designed specifically to be compact, inline charts that show trends or variations over time without axes or labels, making them ideal for embedding in reports.
Compare the options and note that pie charts, boxplots, and histograms are typically larger, standalone visualizations and not used as small embedded line graphs.
Conclude that the best description matching a small embedded line graph illustrating a single trend is a sparkline.
