Correct answer: D
Variables measured on an interval scale have meaningful differences between values but lack a true zero point. Gender (A) and religion (C) are nominal scales as they categorize without order or magnitude. Date of birth (B) and time of the day (D) allow for meaningful differences but do not have a true zero, making them interval scales. Therefore, the correct combination is B and D only.
