Correct Answer Explanation

In quantitative classification, classes are formed by assigning class limits for the values of the characteristic under consideration.

Key Points:
  • Class limits define the range of values in each class.
  • Example: Age groups 20-30, 30-40, 40-50 have class limits of 20, 30, 40, 50.
  • Each class has a lower limit and an upper limit.
  • The difference between upper and lower limits gives the class width or interval.
Why Other Options Are Wrong
  • A. Attributes: Attributes are used in qualitative classification.
  • C. Time periods: Time periods are used in temporal classification.
  • D. Geographical boundaries: These are used in spatial classification.
