I have a vague memory that whole job ranking is a common non-quantitative technique, but I could be mixing it up with something else.

Okay, let's see here. The Header bar, question/category tabs, and controls for question data types seem like the most relevant options. I'll go with those three.

Okay, let me take a closer look at the options. I'm leaning towards B. basic, but I want to double-check the differences between the authentication mechanisms.
