Time-series data refers to data that is collected over a period of time and shows patterns or trends over that time period. Option C represents the value of the #1 stock on the NYSE over a one-year period, which is collected over time and shows a pattern or trend, therefore it represents time-series data. Options A and B are both related to the top 100 stocks on the NYSE, but do not involve collecting data over a period of time, therefore they do not represent time-series data. Option D is incorrect, as only option C represents time-series data.
