A bar graph would be the best choice to display this information because it allows for a clear comparison between the number of respondents who answered "yes" and those who answered "no." A time-series chart and histogram would not be appropriate as they are typically used to display continuous data over time or a range of values, and a frequency distribution is typically used to show the distribution of a set of data.
