In which scale of measurement do we have classification and order along with equal intervals between values, but no true zero point?

AOrdinal
BNominal
CInterval ✓ Correct
DRatio
Correct answer: (C) Interval
Explanation

The interval scale offers classification and order with equal intervals between values but no true zero point.

Its zero is arbitrary, so differences are meaningful while ratios are not.

The ordinal scale ranks values in order but lacks equal intervals between them.

The nominal scale only classifies into categories with neither order nor equal intervals.

The ratio scale adds a true, absolute zero that permits meaningful ratios.

Temperature in Celsius is a classic example of an interval scale.
