Answer: C. How many mountain ranges are in the U.S.
Step-by-step explanation:
A statistical question first of all has to have a quantitative response i.e., answers should be in numbers.
The only two questions here that would yield a numeric answer are options C and D.
Furthermore, a statistical question has variability in it which means that the answer is based on multiple observations not just one. The observations in option C are mountain ranges and as the question requires finding out details about multiple mountain ranges, this is a statistical question.
This is opposed to option D which addresses issues surrounding just one mountain.
