The number 21 represents a count of limbs, which is a numerical value that can be measured and expressed as a whole number. Therefore, it is considered **quantitative data**.
More specifically, quantitative data can be further classified into two types: discrete data (which includes counts, such as the number of limbs) and continuous data (which can take on any value within a range). Since the number of limbs is counted in whole numbers and cannot be fractional, it falls under discrete quantitative data.
So the correct answer is **1) quantitative data**.
