Explanation:

Step1: Recall Pareto - chart properties

A Pareto chart has bars in descending order of frequency. The frequencies are 269, 47, 99, 25. The order of frequencies from highest to lowest is: help - wanted ads (269), networking (99), executive search firms (47), mass mailing (25).

Step2: Match with given choices

We need to find the chart where the bars are arranged in this descending - order of frequencies for the categories H (help - wanted ads), N (networking), E (executive search firms), M (mass mailing).

Answer:

The correct choice is the one where the bars are arranged in descending order of height corresponding to the frequencies of the job - getting methods as described above. Since the answer box has "B" written, assuming that choice B has the correct bar - height order, the answer is B.
