Answer 1

Nominal

Step-by-step explanation:

The level of measurement that classifies data into mutually exclusive (nonoverlapping), exhaustive categories in which no order or ranking can be imposed on the data is nominal level. Data measured at the nominal level are qualitative and categorical, such as categories, names, labels, or favorite foods. Examples of nominal level data include classifying people based on their favorite color or favorite movie genre.
