Explanation:

To determine if "Favorite song" is qualitative or quantitative, we recall: Qualitative variables are attributes or characteristics (non - numerical), while quantitative are numerical measures. "Favorite song" is an attribute (a type of music or song title, not a number), so it's qualitative. Now analyze options:

• Option A: Wrong, "Favorite song" isn't a numerical measure.
• Option B: Correct, it's an attribute characteristic (qualitative).
• Option C: Wrong, quantitative is numerical, not attribute.
• Option D: Wrong, "Favorite song" isn't a numerical measure.

Answer:

B. The variable is qualitative because it is an attribute characteristic.
