A)

interval scale.

B)

nominal scale.

C)

ordinal scale.

The ordinal scale of measurement categorizes and orders data with respect to some characteristic. In this example, the ordinal scale tells us that a fund ranked “1” performed better than a fund ranked “10,” but it does not tell us anything about the difference in performance.
