Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

A quantitative data is defined as the data which can only be described in numbers or figures.

For example, mass of a person is 50 kg.

This is a quantitative data as mass is represent in figures.

On the other hand, a data which described the nature of a substance and that can only be described in words as there will be no figures or numerical data then it is known as a qualitative data.

For example, Elena is a beautiful.

This is a qualitative data.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options taking the mass of an object using a balance describes quantitative data.
