Solution

The correct option is A Nominal scale

Nominal scale is a scale which neither measures nor ranks data. It just serve as labels or tags which help to distinguish or classify different objects. It helps in the proper categorization. Thus, classification of respondents only on the basis of gender would be an example of nominal scale as we are neither measuring nor ranking the data.
