A trend is a pattern or general direction in which something is moving or changing. A time-series graph is specifically designed to show trends over time, making statement II true. A cross-section graph is a visual representation of data that is taken at a specific moment in time and does not necessarily show trends. A scatter plot is used to display the relationship between two variables and does not necessarily show trends over time. Therefore, statement III is false.
