Step-by-step explanation:

Required;

We are required to identify which of the options given would be considered categorical data.

Solution;

Categorical data is described as data that can be sorted or grouped into categories. It can also be described as qualitative. Good examples are eye color, gender, blood type, etc.

From the options provided, hair color is one data type that is made up of words and not numerical. This qualifies as categorical data.

Option B; hair color
