A feature F1 can take certain value: A, B, C, D, E & F and represents grade of students from a college. Which of the following statement is true in following case?

Feature F1 is an example of nominal variable.
Feature F1 is an example of ordinal variable.
It doesn't belong to any of the above category.
Both of these

The correct answer is B. Feature F1 is an example of an ordinal variable.

An ordinal variable is a variable that has a natural order, but the difference between two values does not have a meaningful interpretation. In the case of Feature F1, the grades A, B, C, D, E, and F have a natural order, but the difference between two grades does not have a meaningful interpretation. For example, a student who receives an A is not necessarily twice as good as a student who receives a B.

A nominal variable is a variable that has no natural order. For example, the variable “gender” is a nominal variable. The values “male” and “female” do not have a natural order.

It doesn’t belong to any of the above category is not a correct answer because Feature F1 is clearly an ordinal variable.

Both of these is not a correct answer because Feature F1 is an ordinal variable, not a nominal variable.
