Answer:

The correct answer is - B. Water can have a cold temperature.

Step-by-step explanation:

Qualitative measurement is a type of measurement that is not based on numerical or numbers but is completely based on the quality of the particular thing. It can be distinguished on basis of the term quality which is based on the character of the substance or condition whereas quantitive is which is based on numerics or numbers.

Among these, all the three choices have numerical measurement but the choice in which it is expressed that water can have cold temperature is qualitative measurement as cold is the quality of the water here.
