Answer
In a histogram, the bases represent the class intervals on the horizontal axis whereas the area represents the frequency.
If class sizes are equal, the height is proportional to the frequency. If they are unequal, heights are adjusted so the area remains proportional to the frequency.
Hence option 3 is the correct option.
