Solution

The correct answer is a. I is quantitative while III is a qualitative observation.

Here's why:

Quantitative observations are those that deal with a number or amount. In this case, Observation I is quantitative because it involves a number - "It has eleven petals."

Qualitative observations, on the other hand, deal with characteristics that cannot be expressed in numbers. Observation III is qualitative because it describes a characteristic of the flower - "The flower attracts mosquitoes."

Observations II and IV are not mentioned in option a. Observation II is qualitative because it describes the colors of the petals, and Observation IV is quantitative because it gives the mass of the flower. However, these are not relevant to option a.
