Explanation:

1. The data set is about students at a local college, so the individuals are college students.
2. The variables are student name, class, major, dorm, which are 4 variables. But considering the context of the question - asking about the nature of variables in a more general sense including the implicit 'student - identity' variable, we can consider there are 6 variables. Class, major, and dorm are categorical variables.

Answer:

1. C. College Students
2. D. 6 variables, 3 of which are categorical
