Your best chance of getting the correct answer is to ask the student who drew the chart. The type of chart/graph that is best drawn depends upon the data being represented: If the chart is being used to show how data represents a fraction of a whole, a Pie chart would be used. If the chart is of discrete data, eg shoe sizes, a bar chart would be used. If the chart is of continuous data, eg the height of people, a line chart would be used. A pictogram is a version of the bar chart with the bars split up into icons which represent some kind of unit; eg for shoe sales of different styles a shop could use a shoe icon to represent 5 shoes with parts of a shoe icon representing 1-4 shoes sold. In business which of the bar chart and line graph is used depends upon what sort of information is required to be shown and to whom*.
