Once they are stacked, it will be hard to compare via visuals. With line chart, you can see the lines crossing each other and moving up and down giving you a relative view.

I did for the first minute. But revenue and cost are at odds, they detract from each other. Revenue + costs = what useful summation value? I can't think why you'd ever show them stacked up, so I'm in camp Line Chart

Exactly. The area chart would have been better if we were comparing components of costs/revenue. Summing those up and comparing them makes sense.

Selected Answer: A
For me the answer is A- Waterfall chart because: a waterfall chart is a data visualization tool that shows how an initial value changes over time due to a series of positive and negative values. It's a type of bar chart that's often used in finance to show financial gains and losses. Use line chart when you want to see how a value changes over time, and use waterfall chart when you need to understand how individual components contribute to final value like analysing financial statements or project budgets.

Line graphs are usually used to visualize evolution through time and two measures would produce two lines you can compare easily. Area charts could also work but since the option is to use "stacked" area charts, it could make comparison more difficult that the line graph

C is the correct answer. A line chart is the most suitable visualization for comparing revenue and cost over time. It allows you to track the trend and fluctuations in both revenue and cost across different time periods, making it easy to see how they relate to each other over time.

Answer is (B.) stacked area chart. "Similar to a line graph, an area chart displays the change in one or more quantities over time." "Stacked area charts typically allow us to visualize how a measure, observed through multiple category values, changes over time."
