Answer 1

Answer: (A), (C), (D)

They can be used to measure continuous statistical fractions.

Choropleth maps use sequential colour combinations to depict classified data. They can be used when the data is attached to enumeration units like districts, countries, provinces, etc. They are best suited for raw data. They can also be used effectively when data is standardised into different ratios, rates, or percentages.
