Data can be broadly classified into two types: categorical (also known as qualitative) and numerical (also known as quantitative). Categorical data consists of qualitative variables that can be further classified into nominal and ordinal variables. On the other hand, numerical data consists of quantitative variables that can be further classified into interval and ratio variables. Therefore, option B is the best choice as it covers the highest level of abstraction in the classification of data.
