How to use the word "comparison"

I am confused on how to use the word "comparison".*

1. The chart of comparison of 2015 and 2016. => The chart is a comparison between 2015 and 2016.
2. A comparison of business performance in 2015 and 2016. => Correct. 
3. The comparison between 2015 and 2016. => Correct.

Which one is correct or are there more suitable sentences that can be used?

All of them are suitable, but it you would still want to use "Chart" or "This" if you are referring to something specific.

Example for 2: This is a comparison of business performance between 2015 and 2016. 

Example for 3: The chart is a comparison between 2015 and 2016.
