For
the given description of data, determine which of the four levels
of measurement (nominal, ordinal, interval, ratio) is most
appropriate.

Blood Type (A, B, AB, O)

Choose the correct answer below.

A.) The nominal level of measurement is most appropriate
because the data cannot be ordered.
B.) The ratio level of measurement is most appropriate because
the data can be ordered, differences (obtained by subtraction) can
be found and are meaningful, and there is a natural zero starting
point.
C.) The ordinal level of measurement is most appropriate
because the data can be ordered, but differences (obtained by
subtraction) cannot be found or are meaningless.
D.) The interval level of measurement is most appropriate
because the data can be ordered, differences (obtained by
subtraction) can be found and are meaningful, but there is no
natural zero starting point.
