Qualitative variable

Step-by-step explanation:

The response is qualitative variable due to its possible categories. In short, the response can only be divided into categories and cannot be interpreted numerically in a meaningful way. Thus, response is a qualitative variable. Also, the categories involves ordering like better and worse etc so, the measurement of scale would be ordinal in this scenario.
