b. range
mode is the most frequent value
median is the "midpoint" value: half the values are greater than it, half are less
mean is the average
range, however, is just the difference between the largest and smallest number; it says nothing about how "centered" the data is

Answer: Option 'b' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Central tendency which means that is the central value for the data.

There are 3 measures of central tendency as follows:

1) Median -It is used to calculate the middle value of data set.

2) Mean-It calculates the average of all data set by dividing the sum of all observation by total number of observation.

3) Mode - It helps in finding the most occurring score among the given data.

But range is not a measure of central tendency.

Range is defined as difference between Highest and lowest score.

Hence, option 'b' is correct.
