What kind of scale(s) of measurement has been used here?

 Ratio scale
 Ratio and Interval scale
 Ordinal scale
No, the answer is incorrect.
Score: 0
Accepted Answers:
Ordinal scale

Why is the correct answer is ordinal scale . Why is it not interval. On interval scale I can perform addition and subtraction and I can find average time spent. Also the options are quantitiave. And ordinal is not quantitative. So how is it ordinal? Please explain.
