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 , weight , or temperature . 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.
