Answer:

The answer is: A

Explanation:

Statistical questions have more than one answer. If you ask your neighbors what their favorite color is, there would be more than one answer because each person has their own bias. That is a statistical question. Therefore, the question "How many continents are there", is NOT a statistical question.

A. there is only one answer
7 continents. That's it, so you would have only one data.
