A bilateral column chart, also known as a Marimekko chart or a variable width column chart, is best suited for displaying the difference between actual and average sales figures. It allows for the comparison of two different sets of data, and can display the positive and negative values with varying column widths. The other chart options listed are not well-suited for this type of comparison.
