Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Flipping a coin is a discrete metric, as it can only take on two possible values: heads or tails. A continuous metric can take on any value within a range, such as weight or blood pressure. Income may also be considered a continuous metric, as it can take on a wide range of values within a given population.
