Which of the following questions would enable a data professional to collect nominal qualitative data?

Nominal qualitative data are categories with names and no inherent order. The question that yields a simple Yes/No response provides a clean nominal variable: respondents fall into two non-ordered categories, which is exactly what nominal data look like. In this case, asking whether anyone recommended the music lessons to you creates a binary label for each respondent, making it a clear example of nominal qualitative data. Other options pull in numeric values (age, visit counts) or, while also categorical, introduce multiple color options; the recommended-question even in binary form best illustrates collecting nominal data in a straightforward way.
