Answer 2

categorical ordinal

Explanation:

The variable is categorical because not important, somewhat important and very important are three different categories and these categories are assigned numerical value 1,2 and 3 still numerical value assigning cannot lead to quantitative variable because 1 still means category not important. The scale of measurement in the variable is ordinal because it has meaningful order from category 1 not important to category 3 very important.
