Correct Answer

✅ Option c — Number of road accidents

All Options:

  • ATemperature in India
  • BProfit of Company X
  • CNumber of road accidents
  • DA person's height

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 (0,1,2,3,dots\displaystyle 0, 1, 2, 3, \\dots). It cannot take fractional values, making it a discrete variable. Hence, **Option C** is the correct answer.
