Final answer:

The data described in the question about pet ownership is univariate and categorical as it categorizes a single variable, the type of pet, without any associated numerical value for comparison. Therefore correct option is C

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks to describe the type of data summarized in the display about pet ownership among customers at a pet store. The data shows different categories of pets (Dogs, Cats, Fish, Birds, Rabbits) along with the number of customers owning each pet type. Since there is only one variable (type of pet) being categorized without an associated numerical value for comparison, the data is univariate and categorical.

If the data also included numerical or quantitative information (like ages of customers or the number of each type of pet owned), it could be considered bivariate. However, that's not the case here. The numbers alongside each pet category likely represent the count of respondents, which makes it categorical but not numerical in the sense of numerical data that can take on a range of values (such as measurement or weight). Therefore, the correct description of the data set is that it is univariate and categorical.
