Recording the number of leaves on a plant gives what type of data?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Quantitative data

The direct answer is B: quantitative data. Quantitative data are expressed as numbers or counts, while qualitative data describe qualities using words such as colour, texture, or smell. Step by step: the student observes the plant; counts its leaves; writes a numerical value, such as 8 or 15; and can compare that value between plants or over time. Option B is correct because the number of leaves is a count and therefore numerical data. Option A is wrong because qualitative data describe characteristics rather than how many items there are. Option C is wrong because a leaf count is an observation, not a personal opinion. Option D is wrong because the count comes from a real plant and is not invented. Note that counted whole items are quantitative even when the number is not measured with a ruler.
