In this item, the correct answer is letter C. In the given data set, there are four observations named Picker, Fletcher, Romano, and Choi. These 4 must be observed with their data. Based on the table given, the sex of Fletcher is not given and Romano’s age is not indicated either. Though there are two missing data, the set still has three variables, not 2.

The two columns (Sex and Age) has 4 rows that need to be filled up. Each column for the variables has missing data. The age of Romano too only has a period symbol, not a numeric value making it having no variable too.

This answer is formally correct, but we can see only two variables, and there is no indication that there are 3 vars.

4 observations, 3 variables

Rows in the data set are called observations, and columns are called variables. Missing values dont affect the structure of the data set.
