D1, 2, 3 and 5 only

Explanation
★The nominal variables are gender and caste, so the answer is 1 and 3.
★A nominal variable names categories with no natural order.
★Gender is such a category, so statement 1 is nominal.
★Caste is also an unordered category, so statement 3 is nominal.
★Annoyance level and economic status are ordered, making them ordinal, not nominal.
★Temperature in Kelvin is a numeric ratio scale, so statements 2, 4 and 5 are excluded.
