The plant grew to be 12 cm tall
A
quantitative data
B
qualitative data
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Growth is an irreversible increase in plant size accompanied by a quantitative change in biomass (weight). Development is more subtle and implies an additional qualitative change in plant form or function such as a phase change from vegetative to reproductive growth.

Detailed explanation-2: -The two main types of quantitative data are discrete data and continuous data. Height in feet, age in years, and weight in pounds are examples of quantitative data. Qualitative data is descriptive data that is not expressed numerically.

Detailed explanation-3: -Remember: Words like “long” and “tall” are descriptive words, not measurements. “The tree was tall” is a QUALITATIVE observation because the word “tall” is a descriptive word. If it said “the tree was eight feet tall, then it would be QUANTITATIVE because eight feet is a measurement.

Detailed explanation-4: -Weight in pounds. Length in inches. Distance in miles. Number of days in a year. A heatmap of a web page. 24-Oct-2021
