Nominal: When the possible observations are tags or categories or names, without any natural ordering, the level of measurement is nominal; arithmetic operations cannot be performed even if the values are numerical.Ordinal: When the possible observations are tags or categories or names, with a natural ordering, the level of measurement is ordinal; arithmetic operations cannot be performed even if the values are numerical.Interval: When the possible observations are numerical values that can be added or subtracted, but not divided or multiplied, the level of measurement is interval; zero is not absolute, but relative.Ratio: When the possible observations are numerical values that can be added or subtracted, divided, or multiplied, the level of measurement is ratio; zero is absolute.The livability ranking of cities, provides the ranking of the cities according to livability characteristics in a natural order. Here, arithmetic operations can not be performed on the ranking data.Correct option is “c. ordinal”.
