Answer 1

Answer is "NOMINAL"

Categorizing a group of employees as working on site (in the office) and working from home is an example of Nominal scale of measurement.

A Nominal measurement scale is used for variables in which each participant or observation in the study must be placed into one mutually exclusive and exhaustive category.

Because in this case the employees needs to be placed in only one mutually exhaustive category that is either working on site(office) or working from home, there cannot be any other placement in between.
