Which of the following statements is true?
A) Unlike parametric methods, nonparametric methods cannot be applied to nominal data that lack numeric values.
B) Nonparametric methods can be applied to a wider variety of problems because they have more rigid requirements compared to parametric methods.
C) Nonparametric methods can be applied to a wider variety of problems because they have less rigid requirements compared to parametric methods.
D) Nonparametric methods can be applied to a wider variety of problems because they have less rigid requirements compared to parametric methods; also, unlike parametric methods, nonparametric methods cannot be applied to nominal data that lack numeric values.

Nonparametric methods have less rigid requirements compared to parametric methods, which makes them applicable to a wider variety of problems, including those with non-normal distributions, small sample sizes, and non-numeric data. However, nonparametric methods can still be applied to nominal data that lack numeric values, making option D incorrect. Option B is also incorrect as it states the opposite of what is true.
