The characteristic that best distinguishes quantitative data from qualitative data is **its ability to be graphed**.
Quantitative data consists of numerical values that can be measured and expressed mathematically, making it suitable for various types of graphs (e.g., bar charts, line graphs). In contrast, qualitative data represents categorical attributes or qualities that cannot be quantitatively measured in the same way, such as colors, textures, or descriptive characteristics.
