In the layout of a statistical table, the descriptive headings given to the rows are collectively known as:
The row headings of a statistical table are called the stub. The caption refers to the column headings, the body contains the numerical data, and the prefatory note gives explanatory remarks, so stub is the correct term for row descriptions.
- ACaption
- BStubCorrect
- CBody
- DPrefatory note
Explanation
A table has a caption (column headings) and a stub (row headings). The body holds the figures and the prefatory note gives extra explanation. Caption is wrong because it describes column headings, not row headings.
