Correct Answer

✅ Option c — Quartile deviation

All Options:

  • AMean
  • BMedian
  • CQuartile deviation
  • DMode

Detailed Solution & Explanation

The measures of central tendency are averages that indicate the center of a probability distribution (these include the Mean, Median, and Mode). On the other hand, the Quartile Deviation is a measure of dispersion, which describes the spread or variability of the data rather than its central location. Hence, **Option C** is the correct answer.
