Answer: Interval

Explanation: The measurement level of the data will be an interval level due to the following reasons ;

Temperature measurement recorded in Fahrenheit is quantitative in nature that is, it deals with quantity or numbers and not with category or level which is reffered to as qualitative. The measurement levels or scale avaliable for recording quantitative variable are the ratio and interval scale. However, difference between both scales lies in the existence of true zero in the measurement. In the ratio scale, True zero exists. However, in the interval scale, there is no true zero. As a value of zero doesn't mean that the measured variable does not exist. Therefore in temperature measurement using Celcius or Fahrenheit scale and also pH measurement, the interval scale is employed.
