Quantitative data are measured with numbers. From your list:
- Speed of light — quantitative (can be measured in m/s).
- Odor of gas — qualitative (described with words like “pungent” or “sweet”; can be indirectly quantified by concentration in ppm but the smell itself is descriptive).
- Texture of a solid — qualitative (descriptors: rough, smooth; some aspects can be measured numerically with instruments, e.g., surface roughness or hardness).
- Color of a flame — usually qualitative (blue, yellow), though color can be measured quantitatively by wavelength or spectral analysis.
If the question expects a single choice in a basic classroom context: speed of light.
