Detailed Solution & Explanation

In statistics, data characteristics are broadly classified into two categories: 1. **Variables (Quantitative Characteristics)**: Characteristics that can be measured directly in numerical units. For example, height H\displaystyle H, weight W\displaystyle W, or temperature T\displaystyle T. These can be discrete (taking isolated values) or continuous (taking any value within an interval). 2. **Attributes (Qualitative Characteristics)**: Characteristics that cannot be measured numerically but are instead described by categories or qualities (e.g., gender, religion, beauty, or honesty). We denote them by presence or absence of a quality. Since the question asks for a variable with a qualitative characteristic, it is termed as an attribute. Hence, **Option B** is the correct answer.
