O b. None of the other options is correct
O c. The size of the difference
O d. Whether the measurements are the same or different

Answer 1

A. The direction of the difference

Explanation:

The ordinal scale measures concepts which are non-numeric.Like happiness or discomfort. However the difference between these measured concepts is not really known.For example ,we don't know the difference between,'sad' and 'very sad'. Order is what you get with ordinal scale.You can get the direction of the difference, like whether one is more than the other.
