Explanation:

Categorical variables represent types of data that can be divided into groups. Race or ethnicity is a group - based variable (e.g., Asian, African - American etc.). Disabilities or special needs are also categorical as they are different types of conditions (e.g., learning disability, physical disability). Student name is a categorical variable as it is a label for each individual student.

Answer:

B. Race or Ethnicity
E. Disabilities or Special Needs
G. Student Name
