Final answer:

The histogram that accurately represents the data is Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The histogram that accurately represents the data is Option A.

In a histogram, the x-axis represents the number of hours, while the y-axis represents the frequency (number of families). The intervals on the x-axis should be the same width and not overlapping. Based on the frequency table, the histogram should have a rectangle for each interval with a height corresponding to the frequency.

Option A has rectangles representing each interval (0-5, 10-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49), with heights corresponding to the frequencies given in the table.
