Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
The hierarchy of measurement scales from highest to lowest is Ratio > Interval > Ordinal > Nominal. Scenario D (height with true zero) represents a Ratio scale. Scenario B (marks) is typically treated as an Interval or Ratio scale. Scenario C (rank) indicates order without equal intervals, representing an Ordinal scale. Scenario A (residence categories) involves labels without order, representing a Nominal scale. Thus, the correct arrangement is D, B, C, A.
