Detailed Solution & Explanation

Statistics, in its modern application, is concerned with both qualitative and quantitative information. While quantitative information consists of variables that can be measured numerically (such as salary, height, or temperature), qualitative information consists of attributes (such as gender, intelligence, or blood group) that cannot be directly measured. However, qualitative attributes can be coded, ranked, or converted into numerical frequencies to perform statistical analyses (such as chi-square tests or Spearman's rank correlation coefficient ρ\displaystyle \rho). Thus, both types of data fall within the scope of statistics. Hence, **Option D** is the correct answer.
