Answer:

The standard deviation of a probability distribution is a measure of variability of the distribution.

Explanation:

We have been given an incomplete statement. We are asked to complete the given statement.

We know that standard deviation is measure of variability or dispersion of a set of data values.

It tells up how much a data point is spread out from the average or mean of the data set.

Therefore, option A is the correct choice.
