Detailed Solution & Explanation

Measures of dispersion (such as Standard Deviation, Mean Deviation, and Quartile Deviation) are affected by a change of scale (multiplication or division by a constant). If all observations are multiplied by a constant, these measures are also multiplied by the absolute value of that constant. Hence, **Option D** is the correct answer.
