Measures that are resistant are able to resist the influence of extreme values, meaning they are not heavily affected or skewed by outliers. This is an important characteristic for statistical analysis as extreme values can heavily influence results if the measure is not resistant. The other options are not correct as being resistant does not make a measure inappropriate for statistical analysis, does not affect measurement bias, and does not necessarily mean the measure is based on a nominal scale. And being resistant means that the measure is not sensitive to localized data as it can withstand outliers that come from localized data.
