Question

How often an event occurs based on data from an experiment or survey is its ____________.

A. relative frequency

B. absolute frequency

This frequency is independent of what the other events in the experiment are and thus is termed absolute frequency.

Thus, for the given question, option B, absolute frequency is the correct option.
