Determine which of the four levels of measurement ( nominal, ordinal, interval, ratio) is most appropriate for the data below. Ratings of hotels on a scale from 1 to 5 stars.

A  The interval level of measurement is most appropriate because the data can be ordered, differrences ( obtain by subtraction) can be found and are meaningful, and there is no natural starting point.

B  The ratio level of measurement is most appropriate because the data can be ordered, differrences ( obtain by subtraction) can be found and are meaningful, and there is a natural starting point.

C  The ordinal level of measurement is most appropriate because the data can be ordered, but differrences cannot be found or are meaningless.

D  The nominal level of measurement is most appropriate because the data cannot be ordered.
