Answer: Option D is correct (None of the above)

Explanation:

None of the above.

A measure of dispersion is a statistical technique for extracting a particular value from a dispersed series in which the amount to which different values of the series tend to deviate from one another or from the average is quantified. All dispersion measurements, from range to standard deviation, are positive.
