`Bar charts represent categorical or qualitative data. Histograms are bar charts that represent a frequency distribution of a variable that is quantitative. The horizontal scale represents values of the variable and is labeled with class boundaries or class midpoints. The vertical scale represents the frequency (quantity) or relative frequency (percentage) of the values in each class. Bars in a histogram touch each other. Although histograms can be constructed from given data, the exam does not stress this technique. Questions on the exam use histograms to display data and ask test takers to interpret the histograms.` With this I believe that the answer would be E since bars touch in a histogram.

I think by gaps and clusters it means that one bin may not have any data.

@StudyGurl14 I answered on the other thread with this question that your marked answer is correct. Histograms do not represent categorical data. Bar graphs do that. http://mathcentral.uregina.ca/qq/database/qq.09.99/raeluck1.html
