A word cloud would be the most appropriate choice for visually representing the frequency of specific terms noted in a qualitative study. A word cloud displays words with varying font sizes based on their frequency, making it easy to quickly see which terms were mentioned most frequently in the study. Other options, such as a frequency polygon, pictograph, or word histogram, may be more appropriate for quantitative data, but may not be as effective for qualitative data represented by text.
