Answer

# Brief Explanations: Each row in the table represents an observation (7 days of data collection). The water - depth is the single attribute being measured. Since water - depth is a linear measurement of length, it is likely measured using a ruler. # Answer: B. There are 7 observations and 1 attribute. The attribute was likely measured using a ruler.
