Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

In Stanley Smith Stevens's hierarchy of measurement scales (Nominal, Ordinal, Interval, and Ratio), the Ratio Scale is the highest and most informative level of measurement. It incorporates all the properties of the lower scales—Classification/identity (C), Order/magnitude (B), and Equal Units/intervals (D)—along with a true, non-arbitrary Absolute zero point (A). Thus, A, B, C, D is correct.
