Correct Answer

✅ Option d — All of these

All Options:

  • AMean deviation
  • BStandard deviation
  • CQuartile deviation
  • DAll of these

Detailed Solution & Explanation

A shift of origin occurs when a constant is added to or subtracted from all observations in a dataset. Since all measures of dispersion (Mean Deviation, Standard Deviation, and Quartile Deviation) are independent of change of origin, a shift of origin has no impact on any of them. Hence, **Option D** is the correct answer.
