Suggested answer: D

Explanation:

Descriptive analytics is a type of analytics that summarizes and visualizes the data to provide an overview of what has happened or is happening, such as the trend of winter-related accidents over the past three years, or the percentage of drivers using winter tires12. Diagnostic analytics is a type of analytics that explores and analyzes the data to understand why something has happened or is happening, such as the primary reasons for these accidents, or the factors that influence the drivers' decisions13. To answer the question, both descriptive and diagnostic analytics would be needed to provide the relevant information and insights for the company.
