Detailed Solution & Explanation
A continuous variable is one that can assume any numerical value within a specified interval, including fractional and decimal values. Temperature, profit, and height can take any real value on a continuous scale. In contrast, the number of road accidents is a count variable that can only take non-negative integer values (). It cannot take fractional values, making it a discrete variable. Hence, **Option C** is the correct answer.
