Answer 1

Answer: B

Explanation:

In statistical terms ,ordinal scale contains things that you can place in order.

For example, hottest to coldest, lightest to heaviest, richest to poorest. Basically, if you can rank data by 1st, 2nd, 3rd place (and so on), then you have data that’s on an ordinal scale.
