a. cognitive Incorrect. Cognitive analytics involves simulating human thought processes, often using AI and machine learning, and is not relevant to a simple comparison of current versus maximum capacity. b. descriptive Correct. Descriptive analytics summarizes and displays data about what is currently happening or has happened in the past. In this case, the visualization shows the current student enrollment compared to the maximum capacity, describing the current status. c. predictive Incorrect. Predictive analytics would forecast future enrollment based on historical data, which is not what this visualization does. d. prescriptive Incorrect. Prescriptive analytics would suggest actions to optimize outcomes, such as strategies to increase enrollment, rather than just displaying current data.
