The scale of measurement used here is an ordinal scale.
Ordinal scales ask participants to rate things like satisfaction, happiness, comfort. etc. The important thing to remember about this scale is that the order of the values matter the most. For example: we know that a 5 is better than a 1, but we are unsure of exactly how much better. This difference cannot be quantified or measured exactly. An easy way to remember this one is that ordinal sounds like "order" and that is what this measure is used for- putting things in order.
The most common form of ordinal measures is the Likert Scale. The question is an illustration of a Likert Scale.

Explanation:
In a monopolistic competition, there may be many sellers of a specific good, but in order for each firm to possess a monopolistic edge over the other, minute differences may exist between the similar goods. For example, geometrical sets are more or less the same, in terms of content. However, producer A may include a formula sheet, something which producer B may compensate with a timetable sheet. A consumer may wish to buy a geometrical set, but will have to choose between one from producer A or B since they all have different special features. Both producers A and B possess a monopoly of sorts over each other, due to the difference in features. This is called product differentiation. It may be physical, like the one above or perceived, where product A may seem better than product B, though entirely similar, due to A’s massive advertising. Purely competitive firm sells standard product like its competitors.
