B
How many individuals in the state of Texas earn over $35,000 a year?
C
Are intelligence and creativity related?
D
Does the amount of time an individual spends watching television influence fatigue level?

Explanation

Inferential statistics use data from a sample to test relationships, compare groups, or draw conclusions about a larger population. Asking how many individuals in Texas earn over $35,000 a year is a request for a count, which is descriptive rather than inferential. The other questions ask about differences, relationships, or influence that could be tested statistically.
