Nonparametric tests are appropriate when the assumptions of parametric tests are not met, such as non-normality or non-equality of variances. However, they are not appropriate if the dependent variable is continuous and measured on a scale. In such cases, parametric tests are more appropriate. Nonparametric tests are best used when the dependent variable is nominal or ordinal. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.
