Yes.
yes it is d
To determine the correct answer, let's understand the difference between the options:
a) A quantitative observation is a statement based on measurable quantities or data.
b) An inference is a conclusion drawn from evidence or reasoning.
c) A prediction is a statement about a future event or outcome.
d) An opinion is a personal belief or judgment.
Now let's analyze the student's statement, "Chocolate-covered donuts are 10 times better than plain, glazed donuts."
The statement does not involve any measurable quantities or data, so it is not a quantitative observation (option a).
It is not a conclusion drawn from evidence or reasoning, so it is not an inference (option b).
There is no mention of a future event or outcome, so it is not a prediction (option c).
The student's statement is expressing a personal belief or judgment about the taste preference of chocolate-covered donuts over plain, glazed donuts. Therefore, it is an opinion (option d).
So, you are correct, the answer is d) The student’s statement is an opinion.
