Ai-a, ii-b, iii-c, iv-d

Bi-c, ii-a, iii-d, iv-b ✓ Correct

Ci-b, ii-c, iii-a, iv-d

Di-d, ii-a, iii-b, iv-c

Correct answer: (B) i-c, ii-a, iii-d, iv-b

Explanation

The correct match is nominal with type of forest, ordinal with anger level, interval with temperature in Fahrenheit, and ratio with crop yield.

Type of forest is nominal, a set of unordered categories.

Anger level is ordinal, ranked by intensity without equal steps.

Temperature in Fahrenheit is interval, with equal units but an arbitrary zero.

Crop yield is a ratio variable with a true zero and meaningful ratios.

The Fahrenheit zero is arbitrary, which bars ratio statements about temperature.
