d. to. Quantitative discrete variable. Ratio measurement scale.

Step-by-step explanation:

A categorical variable is one that does not refer to a quantification of any characteristic of the individual.

A numerical variable is a variable that reflects a quantifiable characteristic of an individual. If the quantifiable characterization is a measurement, the variable is considered continuous, while, if the characteristic is a count, the variable is considered discrete.

a. Quantitative discrete variable. Ratio measurement scale.

b. Categorical variable Nominal measurement scale

c. Quantitative discrete variable. Ratio measurement scale.

d. to. Quantitative discrete variable. Ratio measurement scale.
