The mean can only be computed from interval or ratio data as it involves numerical values that can be added, subtracted, multiplied, and divided. The mode and median can also be computed from interval or ratio data but can also be computed from nominal and ordinal data. Therefore, choice D is not the best answer as it includes unnecessary information. Choice E is incorrect as at least one of the options (mean) can be computed from interval or ratio data.
