Answer:
Collection of numerical information is called Statistics
Step-by-step explanation:
From the Oxford dictionary, the definition of statistics (science) is: "the practice or science of collecting and analyzing numerical data in large quantities, especially to infer proportions in a whole from those in a representative sample".
While the definition of statistic (data) is: "a fact or piece of data obtained from a study of a large quantity of numerical data".
Statistics is a science, not a method, therefore answer can´t be a).
Not all sample data is necessarily a statistic, therefore answer can´t be b).
All statistics are numerical information.
Not all statistics are population data, therefore answer can´t be d).
Cleaned data is information filtered with a specific criterion, but not necessarily used in a statistic.
The most probable answer is c.
