Detailed Solution & Explanation

Statistical data can be classified in different ways depending on the basis of classification. When data is classified or arranged in accordance with geographical locations or spatial regions—such as countries, states, districts, or cities—it is referred to as geographical or spatial classification (or geographical data). In contrast, temporal classification refers to data arranged chronologically by time (e.g., years, months), ordinal data relates to qualitative characteristics with a relative rank or order, and cardinal (quantitative) data is classified based on numerical measurements. Since the student data is arranged by different states, it constitutes geographical data. Hence, **Option B** is the correct answer.
