Question

Explanation:

A frequency distribution shows the categories of a variable along with how often each category occurs (frequencies). The proportion of all observations in a category is relative - frequency, not frequency distribution. The number of flowers of each color in a bouquet shows categories (flower colors) and their frequencies (counts of each color).

Answer:

A. A frequency distribution is the categories of the variable together with their frequencies. An example would be the number of flowers of each color in a bouquet.
