Which one is a categorical variable?

Answer explanation

A categorical variable is a variable that can be divided into several categories but having no order or priority. This includes variables like color, type, group, class etc. 'Gender' is an example of this since it can be categorized into 'male', 'female', and 'non-binary'. Options like 'Age', 'Height' and 'Income' are numerical, not categorical.
