The correct answer is C. A chart that displays population statistics from both time periods side by side

Step-by-step explanation:

The purpose of graphics is to display complex or numerical information; moreover, each type of graphic had different features, and therefore, the type of graphic that is effective in each case depends on the information you want to display.

In the case of population totals from two or more different periods, the best would be "a chart of statistics" because this information is mainly numerical and by using a chart you can easily compare the population totals of different periods to determine if the population total was higher or lower in one period. Moreover, images or quotations are not appropriate to display numerical information precisely.
