Given below are two statements:
Statement I: A dichotomous variable is the one which has more than two categories.
Statement II: A nominal variable can have more than two categories.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.

Correct option is D

Statement I is false because a dichotomous variable is one that has only two categories or levels. For example, a "yes" or "no" response, "male" or "female" gender classification, etc., are dichotomous. It does not have more than two categories.
Statement II is true as a nominal variable is a type of variable that can have two or more categories without any intrinsic ordering. Examples include variables like nationality, hair color, or types of fruit. These categories are distinct and have no specific order.
