Answer 1

Hint: We will here first try to tell what does tabular presentation of data means. Then from that explanation/meaning of the required term, we will try to answer our given question. Hence, we will get the required answer.

Complete step-by-step answer:
A tabular representation of data means data is represented in the form of a table. It is very much used in statistics.
Now, we know that a table consists of two things-rows and columns.
Hence, the tabular presentation of data is expressed in the form of rows and columns.
For example, we can express the data which relates the cost of different items using rows and columns. So, we can write the parameters as shown below,

Item	Flour	Sugar	Rice
Cost(Rs/kg)	30	25	40

So, the correct answer is “Option A”.

Note: Data can be represented in many forms these days. Some of the common forms are:
1. Tabular Representation: Data is represented in the form of a table which consists of rows and columns. It is commonly used to express group data.
2. Graphical Representation (bar graphs): Data is represented in the form of bar graphs.
3. Graphical Representation (growth curve): Data is represented on the graph as a simple curve which varies with time. It is commonly used to track the growth of the company.
4. Pie Chart: Data is represented in the form of a fraction of a whole. It is used to represent different quantitative information related to one thing which together form the whole.
