Quantitative data is best distinguished by the root word "quantity" from qualitative data which is rooted from its base "quality." This lets us easily distinguish these two from each other.

Assuming that this is referring to the same list of options that was posted before with this question, the correct response would be the "objectivity" of the researcher, since quantitative data is often indisputable from an objective sense, whereas qualitative data can be interpreted in different ways.
