Parametric tests assume that the data being analyzed follows a specific distribution, most commonly the normal distribution, and require that the variables of interest are measured on at least an interval scale. Non-parametric tests, on the other hand, do not make assumptions about the distribution of the data and can be used with nominal or ordinal scale data as well. Therefore, B is the best choice, as it specifically references interval scale measurement.
