For which SoM is rank or order meaningful?
I feel that the options  of this question are misleading cause if I choose 'Ratio, Interval and Ordinal Scale', then it automatically includes the 1st and 4th options also. 
Is this how wee are supposed to mark answers in the graded assignments and Qualifier Exam?

Hello,

This question comes under MSQ. So, you had to choose all the options which were correct.
(NOTE: Whenever you see square boxes,  it is MSQ.)

Thank you

Taking the example of temp in Kelvin scale, it can be stated that 0K is lesser than 100K, which is greater than 50K.

0 Kelvin < 50 Kelvin < 100 Kelvin

Since they can be ordered, the answer includes ratio scale.

Hello, 

To add to the above except in the nominal scale of measurement, every other scale of measurement has order.
