ANSWER

Options: II and IV

Step-by-step explanation

Mean: Is the sum of data values divided by the total number of data values

Deviation: Is the difference between an individual data item and the set's mean.

Absolute value: Is the distance (a positive quantity) between any two points on a number line.

Variability: This relates to how dispersed (or clustered) the values in a data set are. High variability indicates that the data is dispersed. Low variability indicates that the data is grouped together (close together).

MAD: Is the average distance between each data value and the mean is the Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD) of a set of data. The higher the MAD, the more data variability there is (the data is more spread out).

Hence, II and IV are most likely to have the greatest number of values in common because they both have higher MAD (8) meaning that they have more data variability (their data is more spread out) compared to I and III which have MADs equal 4 and 2 respectively.
