Answer
A
the height of each player

D
the number of foul shots made by each player

Explanation

A continuous quantitative variable is a numerical measurement that can take many values, including decimal values. Height can be measured precisely, such as 6.2 feet or 188.5 centimeters. Position is categorical, while games played and foul shots made are counts that take only whole-number values.
