Answer
A
the brand of car
B
the number of tires used
C
the number of laps completed
D
the average speed (in mpg)

Explanation

A quantitative variable is measured or counted using numbers. The number of tires, number of laps, and average speed are numerical values. The brand of car is a category or name, not a numerical measurement, so it is not quantitative.
