Detailed Solution & Explanation

Measures of dispersion are categorized into absolute measures (which have the same units as the original data) and relative measures (which are unitless ratios). Absolute measures of dispersion include the Range, Quartile Deviation, Mean Deviation, and Standard Deviation. Therefore, all of these are absolute measures of dispersion. Hence, **Option D** is the correct answer.
