Explanation

Measurement data (also called quantitative or continuous data) consists of numerical values obtained through measuring - such as height, weight, temperature, or test scores - which is why option A is correct; a matrix of such values represents real-world quantities on a continuous scale.

Since no other choices are listed in this question, there are no distractors to address - this appears to be a single-option confirmation question testing whether you can identify measurement data on sight.

Memory tip: If the values in a matrix could appear on a ruler, thermometer, or scale, it's measurement data - think "measured with an instrument."
