Answer: A. a study of different surfaces to compare luster or shine

Step-by-step explanation:

A qualitative data can be define as the data that can only be observed and recorded but it cannot be counted in numbers. This type of data cannot be measured in units. For example, color.

A is the correct option. This is because of the fact that luster and shine can only be observed it cannot be measured in units and counted in numbers. It just represents the physical observable property of a material.
