In the context of designing a dashboard for a large e-commerce platform, you are tasked with visualizing the hierarchical structure of product categories and their respective sales volumes to identify trends and outliers. The dashboard must efficiently display this hierarchical relationship while allowing for quick comparison of sales volumes across different categories. Given the constraints of space and the need for clarity in presentation, which visualization technique would be the most suitable for this scenario? Choose the best option.
A
Scatter plot: Utilizes Cartesian coordinates to display values for typically two variables for a set of data.
B
Tree map: Displays hierarchical data as a set of nested rectangles. Each branch of the tree is given a rectangle, which is then tiled with smaller rectangles representing sub-branches.
C
Bar chart: Presents categorical data with rectangular bars with heights or lengths proportional to the values that they represent.
D
Histogram: An accurate representation of the distribution of numerical data.
E
Heat map: Represents data values in a matrix as colors.
