Answer 3

Either A or C can be the best choice based on data type:

Pie Charts: are useful when data is not time-dependent. They're very useful especially when the number of classes (parts of the whole) are few and the difference between the percentage of different groups are sort of clear.

Bar Charts: When the number of classes rise to more than 6-7 or when the differences between the classes is not clearly recognized I prefer using Bar charts showing the percentage of each class.

Bar Charts: When data is time-dependent the best choice is using a Bar Chart.
