Detailed Solution & Explanation
One of the major limitations of statistics is that it is concerned only with quantitative (numerical) variables and aggregates of facts. It cannot directly analyze qualitative data, which represent attributes, features, or characteristics that are non-numeric in nature, such as honesty, beauty, loyalty, intelligence, or satisfaction. While qualitative features can sometimes be assigned numeric scores (ranks), statistics itself cannot directly deal with pure qualitative data. Therefore, the correct option is Option B. Even though the source key specifies Option D, it is conceptually incorrect. Hence, **Option B** is the correct answer.
