Spearman's rank coefficient correlation is used to measure the relationship between two variables that are measured at the ordinal or interval level. Therefore, the independent and dependent variables in this case must have an ordinal level of measurement or higher. Choice C is the only option that fits this criteria. Nominal variables (choices A and B) are too basic for Spearman's rank coefficient correlation, and interval variables (choice D) are not necessary for this type of analysis.
