Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Tallying and representing how often certain scores occur involves creating a frequency distribution, which displays the number of times each score occurs. Class intervals and histograms are related to frequency distributions but involve grouping the data into intervals or bins and representing the data with bars. Polygons can be used to represent frequency distributions by connecting midpoints of bars, but are not the primary method of displaying this type of data.
