Explanation:

Monthly rainfall has a true zero point (no rainfall means zero inches). Ratio - level measurements have a true zero and allow for meaningful ratios (e.g., 3 inches is 1.5 times 2 inches). Nominal is for naming - like categories with no order. Ordinal has order but no equal intervals. Interval has equal intervals but no true zero (like temperature in Celsius).

C. Ratio
