c. The data are qualitative because they don't measure or count anything.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the case of the area codes, the value although is a number and follows some logic, it does not represent a quantity and any mathematical operation on it has no meaning. The number does not measure or count anything.

They have the same meaning as the name of the city or the area.
