linear

b.

c.

logarithmic

d.

a. linear

Explanation:

Mohs scale is a qualitative ordinance scale i. e characterized by stretch-resistant minerals that are available through the hardness of science. A mineral is pure samples of rocks. Its hardness is measured against the scale and as the properties of ordnance, scale measures the values from 1 to 10 in serial order of events. LIner fashion of measurement is followed in Mohos and interatomic distance being measured also changes with the properties that best fit this pattern of alignments.
