Seasonal variation means the variation occurring within :

  • A.A number of years
  • B.Parts of a year
  • C.Parts of a month
  • D.All of the above

Answer: B

Seasonal variation occurs within parts of a year.

In time-series analysis, seasonal variation is the regular, periodic movement that repeats within a year, month by month or quarter by quarter, because of weather, festivals and customs: higher sales of woollens in winter, of umbrellas in the monsoon, or air pollution rising each winter in north India.

Variation over a number of years is the secular trend or the cyclical component. Movements within a month are short-term fluctuations, not seasonal ones. 'All of the above' mixes these different components, so it is wrong.
