The statement that is false with regard to the ratio scale is:
A)The intervals between the objects are equal and are known
B)A natural zero point exists where the distance from it for at least one object is known
C)The intervals between the numbers do not tell anything about the differences in the quantity of the property they represent
D)The rank order of the objects or events with respect to a given property is known

The ratio scale does tell us about the differences in the quantity of the property represented by the numbers on the scale. This is because it has a natural zero point where zero represents the absence of the property being measured. Therefore, we can compare the ratios of the values on the scale (e.g. one object is twice as heavy as another), which is not possible on other scales like the ordinal or interval scales.
