Maximum height of a bar in a relative frequency histogram ranges from

0<Height of bar in a relative frequency histogram≤1

So a) 1 is the correct answer.

So let me start from here , in frequency histogram on X axis we draw bars and on vertical axis we represent frequencies.

But in relative frequency histogram we represent bars on X axis but relative frequency on Y axis i.e vertical axis.

Let me start by taking an example.Consider 20 observations

Interval frequency Relative frequency

0-5 4 4/20

5-10 8 8/20

10-15 5 5/20

15-20 3 3/20

As you can see from above example the height of bar can't extend than 1.

and sum of all relative frequency=4/20 +8/20 +5/20+3/20 =1
