Answers: A, B, C

These three deal with numeric values, so that is why they are quantitative variables. Think quantitative as quantity to help remember.

In contrast, choice D is a qualitative variable. Instead of dealing with numbers, it deals with symbols or labels. You could also call this a categorical variable (each label being its own category).
