Suggested Answer:

Box 1: KPIs -
A Key Performance Indicator (KPI) is a visual cue that communicates the amount of progress made toward a measurable goal.

Box 2: Line chart -
Line charts emphasize the overall shape of an entire series of values, usually over time.

Box 3: Donut -
Doughnut charts are similar to pie charts. They show the relationship of parts to a whole. The only difference is that the center is blank and allows space for a label or icon.

Matrix is better. If there are 20 regions it would be very difficult to see anything. In the matrix we have a separate row for each region and we can set the conditional formatting (bars).

Agreed from a data professional perspective, not agreed from a Microsoft perspective (whose exam you're taking). Donuts display parts of a whole is their take, so that would be the answer.

Correct To Show the quality sales total data in relation to the sales goal: KPI (key performance indicator) or a Line chart with a target line View the sales trend by month of the sales year to date for all regions: Line chart or a Column chart View the year to data sales as a percentage by region: Donut chart or a Pie chart Keep in mind that the best chart type depends on the data you have and the message you want to convey. Additionally, it's always a good idea to experiment with different chart types and see which one works best for your specific use case.
