Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Pie charts: Use sectors of a circle to represent data, not drawings of objects. Eliminate.
• Pictographs: Use drawings (pictures) of objects to represent data, and can create false impressions due to scaling issues (e.g., changing size of objects). This matches the description.
• Outliers: Are extreme data points, not a type of drawing for data depiction. Eliminate.
• Ogives: Are graphs of cumulative frequency, not related to object drawings. Eliminate.

pictographs.
